LNG processing and intelligent valves for a demanding service

The demand for natural gas is increasing globally due to its clean-burning characteristics, which is especially true for producing electricity and many industries are looking into LNG as an alternative, cleaner source of energy. For LNG producers the difference between running safe, profitable plants often comes down to choosing flow control partners with the experience and knowledge to get the job done right.

Common hydraulic valves - the proportional pressure valve

Proportional valves are commonly used to control pressure to a cylinder or hydraulic motor.

Mineral concentrators & mineral processing

How does one decide when a valve or pump is not ideal and hindering operations? The decision to change is often hard and costly to make. However, the decision to not make a change may be more costly due to high operating expenses. In every pipeline, there are many options. 

Reducing emissions from refining - should I focus on my valves or my positioners?

The global climate is warming up and countries and individual companies are seeking ways to reduce their emissions to slow down climate change. Looking at oil refineries, one may wonder from where their own emissions emerge.

Neles™ Neldisc™ triple eccentric butterfly valves: The ultimate solution for control and shut-off applications

Neles Neldisc triple eccentric butterfly valves are designed for customer success. These valves excel in both control and tight shut-off applications, offering customers’ processes the perfect balance of control and tight shut-off capabilities. Their design ensures an extended operational lifespan, making them a reliable choice for control service. Available in three different body types (wafer, lug, and double flange), these butterfly valves offer adaptability to diverse environments enabling an ideal fit to customers’ application. Furthermore, a wide range of materials and seat combinations are available, covering a broad spectrum of applications and ensuring long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance. Since there is no contact between the seat and the disc in the open or intermediate positions, the most common wear points are eliminated, enabling high operational life for the butterfly valve in control service.

Commercial-grade valves in nuclear facilities – a viable way to cut costs and improve safety?

At a time when cutting investment and operational costs is a major target of the nuclear energy sector, engineers and researchers from all parts of the world are on a quest to find the most viable solutions. We, too, decided to look into this problem – to approach it from the perspective of valves. Can these critical components help nuclear power plants save costs?
