OHL Gutermuth Industrial ValvesOHL Gutermuth Industrial Valves can refer to its nearly 150-year history. The beginnings date back to 1867, when OHL was founded in Limburg. Almost 60 years later, in 1923, the company Gutermuth was founded in Frankfurt. In 1992 the two companies merged. Since then, OHL Gutermuth Industrial Valves has been a leading manufacturer of industrial fittings. Industrial fittings for all key industries: We supply all industries, from A to Z. Our industrial customers cover the entire spectrum from exhaust air technology to sugar refineries. Whenever high-precision fittings, high-quality shut-off valves and reliable butterfly valves are needed, our industrial fittings are used...... View All Sponsors |

Opening The Crude Flexibility Window: Enhancing Crude Unit CapabilitiesInnovative online analysers help refiners to mitigate crude unit threats in real time and provide new insights into existing problems. While much of the upstream oil and gas sector has struggled since crude oil prices collapsed in the summer of 2014, global refiners have enjoyed a period of relative prosperity. Falling crude prices buoyed refiners’ margins after a prolonged period of squeeze on their profitability. However, the good times for refiners may be fading; margins have already tightened as crude oil prices stabilised and refiners once again start looking at managing cash flow to maintain and maximise their profitability. |
