Ask the expert: Why are valves important in industrial gas processing?
Can you explain the importance of valves in industrial gas processing? Gases like hydrogen, helium and oxygen are in higher demand than ever before. This means the equipment used in these units and applications must maintain its reliability and provide longevity within the process. Numerous parts of a plant rely heavily on the production of these specific gases, and a single valve failure can become an extremely costly issue. If maintenance is not properly addressed, unnecessary production downtime may lead to extreme downstream losses. It has been one of Valmet’s core values and solutions to provide products and valve assemblies that extend the maintenance intervals and overall life of these units.
How can Valmet’s flow control solutions help improve reliability and productivity in industrial gas processes?
We take pride in understanding the vast challenges of cyclic services, extreme temperature changes and the other severe processes that our products will face. Through decades of collaboration with our industrial gas customers, we have been able to maintain our place as a market leader in the industrial gas sector. Our relationships with our customers allow us to update, innovate and provide solutions for some of the tougher applications that our customers experience. With these applications becoming more crucial to operations, we must continue to work and grow with our customers as the needs of the industry continue to change. Aside from product development and continued innovation, another major focus for us in Valmet is to ensure that maintenance remains a crucial part of our supplied solutions. With prolonged reliability and added productivity, improved assembly constructions, components and even onboard diagnostic hardware allow our customers to feel comfortable. Our process specific assembly constructions, engineered components and even our onboard diagnostic hardware provide reliability and added productivity, allowing our customers to feel comfortable in their solution selection.
