Digital business ecosystems to boost pulp and papermaking projects and processes

Digitalization is a hot topic in the pulp and paper industry as well as among the suppliers to this industry. What does digitalization mean in practice? What kind of opportunities does it provide?

3 steps to assure your plant is safe with ESD valves

An emergency shutdown (ESD) valve is part of a safety instrumented system (SIS) and normally refers to all types of safety system valves. Much confusion still exists when it comes to what should be considered with these valves to make a plant safe.

Reduce that process gas overpressure – and do it safely

Does your oil & gas processing facility include risk scenarios involving overheating due to fire, exothermic or runaway process reactions? Are you concerned that your process vessel metal temperatures can reach a level where stress ruptur can occur? Do you need more risk reduction than what a pressure relief valve can provide to depressurize your process vessel? If the answer is yes, please read further.

Better data utilization breeds reliability

Accurate and up-to-date installed base data is the foundation for achieving reliability. Being able to work together with a customer to harness the power of data is helping transform us from a vendor to a true reliability partner.

Meet Pertti Puurunen, Valmet’s resident engineer in Kemi, Finland. Learn about his career journey, daily responsibilities, and how his expertise enhances flow control services for customers.

Ethernet-APL advancements for field devices in process automation

Processes in the most hazardous areas have long been limited to individual discrete/analog sensors or to fieldbuses that are too expensive, complex, and slow. We sat down with Valmet expert Tomasz Jarzabek to discuss what this means at Valmet when it comes to technology development with APL.

Highlighting our long hydrogen experience for BotH2nia network

We were pleased to host BotH2nia network members at our valve technology center on Friday, June 2nd, 2023, as one of the network’s locations for the BotH2nia goes Helsinki field tour. This event gave us the perfect opportunity to highlight our decades-long history of valve solutions and deep hydrogen expertise as well as to talk about our valve manufacturing capabilities for this extreme industry.

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.

Understandable valve diagnostics

Digital valve controllers can provide diagnostic data about the valve assembly. But how many users can correctly interpret the data they get?

Valve portfolio built on innovations

In 1973, Antti Nelimarkka, the creative engineer behind Neles range of valves, came up with an idea that was fine-tuned until production commenced in 1975. For the valves to be more reliable in demanding conditions and applications, Nelimarkka thought of using a metallic seat ring instead of a rubber one—and the game-changer was born.
