Cut turnaround costs by focusing maintenance where needed

One of the biggest challenges is determining what devices will be adjusted, repaired or upgraded, and ensuring that key devices are not ignored.

Launching innovative products for customers is in our DNA

Antti Nelimarkka’s 1973 valve design allowed valves to be more reliable than ever before. He designed a metallic seat ring instead of a rubber one, and the world’s first metal-seated butterfly valve was born, setting the industry standard. Neles has since built itself around innovation and significant breakthroughs to provide our customers with more reliable and safe products – it’s in our DNA.

How to select the sleeve for a pinch valve?

Our expert Johanna Puranen, Technical Product Manager, Elastomers, was asked to answer this commonly raising question. In most cases, it is easy to choose the right sleeve material for the application, because the medium and other process parameters given by the customer lead us to the correct solution. Read the answer below.

Neles NDX 2.0 – The next generation valve controller for any valve or actuator

The Neles NDX 2.0 has universal performance, meaning it can be put on top of any valve or actuator. Find out more about versatile next-generation valve controller in the Q&A.

Breaking through the textile industry

Circulose dissolving pulp uses cellulose from discarded textiles that is then spun into soft and breathable new textile materials like viscose and lyocell. Renewcell and Valmet have worked closely on this groundbreaking innovation from the first pilot trials to the first-of-a-kind industrial-scale production line.

8 ways to lower the total cost of valve ownership

The concept of total cost of ownership (TCO) is not an unfamiliar term when discussing investment decisions in process industries. It has become a valuable tool to help buyers make more informed purchase decisions.

Cooling down a reactor for process reliability

There are a great number of polyolefin reactors available, each with having their own advantages and disadvantages in polyolefin production. Therefore, efficient heat removal remains a key concern in the design and operation of the polyolefin reactors.

Sieving molecules for cleaner fuels

To separate hydrocarbons or dry gases, processing industries have used adsorption and molecular sieve technologies for decades to produce cleaner fuels and more economical processes. The proper selection of switching valves, though, is key to the success and sustainability of the molecular sieve adsorption process, which is often critical for the availability of the entire process plant.

Safe offshore production – part 3: processing information

There are efficient technologies available which can optimize the plant shutdown time as well optimize the needed visits in the platforms. Real time condition monitoring, using open technology asset management tools and analyzing the condition monitoring information works very efficient way and the following examples describes better this idea.

How a hydrotreatment plant increased reliability with emergency shutoff valves

To avoid dangerous leaks and the high costs of unnecessary shutdowns, refineries today must be able to rely on the performance of their on-off and safety valves.
