Safe, reliable flow control for gas processing

The gas processing industry relies on complex and technically demanding processes to safely extract, liquify and transport natural gas. These include the extreme cooling and compression needed to convert the natural gas into LNG, which involve high pressure differentials and cryogenic temperatures. The valve solutions in use have to operate dependably and ensure safe, reliable shut off and control.

Our offering includes a comprehensive line of Neles™ flow control solutions that deliver excellent, long-lasting seat tightness, and perform reliably in cryogenic, low-temperature, high pressure and ambient applications, such as gas-to-liquid processes. Our solutions include valve controllers, on-off valves, emergency shutdown valves and control valves, as well as modular, engineered valves such as actuated on-off, safety and control valves, and valves for blowdown and dryer sequencing.

Automation for the entire gas supply chain

Handling, transporting and distributing LNG and other fuel gasses always carries inherent risk. This means that accurate monitoring and control, with full process visibility, is essential.

Valmet offers proven automation solutions that are integrated into Valmet DNA, which been specifically developed for the gas processing industry. With Valmet DNA, companies can ensure safe and dependable automation, control and monitoring of applications like compression stations, filling stations and pipelines, as well as biogas production facilities. Safety and performance-optimizing solutions, like anti-surge control and load sharing can also be integrated into the Valmet DNA automation system.

Your valve automation partner of choice in Europe

Successful actuator sizing and instrumentation engineering according to customer specification takes time and resources. Trust is essential when relying on a 3rd party to automate your valve. When do you know you can proceed with confidence in the partner you have chosen?

Hydrogen is hard on valves

Under pressure, the hydrogen molecule H2 cracks metal and can even penetrate steel. Hydrogen fracture weakens the tensile strength and ductility of steel, which reduces its resistance to fracture and causes cracking.

How the new Neles™ NDX 2.0 is making life simple and easy

Less is less – And sometimes that is a good thing. In fact, when it comes to time and money spent, it is the greatest thing imaginable. This is why the new NDX 2.0 is expected to be a new favourite among OEM customers and end customers alike. The potential for saving both time and money is very tangible.

Smart technology utilization in the refining & chemicals industry

Over the years the field devices used in various process industries have changed from simple to more intelligent. Through the enhanced intelligent features, these smart field devices present process industries wide range of possibilities. Yet we find that the functionalities and benefits of smart technology are often not yet fully utilized. This is particularly the case when it comes to diagnostics features. We at Valmet hope to change all that.

The Neles™ NDX 2.0 delivers on sustainability

Many have asked what’s so different about the new Neles NDX 2.0 valve controller. While there are several technical developments worth discussing, we’ll start by looking at the considerable increase in the potential to improve the sustainability of valve assemblies and the processes they are a part of.

Great expectations for Neles NDX™ 2.0 in China

The Neles NDX has been a runaway success in China since its launch in 2016. This high-quality valve controller has become a go-to device for many of China’s oil & gas and chemical industry operators. With the recent launch of the latest update, the Neles NDX 2.0, we are looking forward to a continued popularity.
