Yokogawa Electric Corporation, a Japanese electrical engineering and software company with locations throughout North and Central America, has announced the acquisition of TechInvent2 AS, a Norwegian enterprise that holds the rights to FluidCom™, a chemical injection metering valve (CIMV). FluidCom is designed to prevent blockages and corrosion in oil wells, pipelines, and other facilities and employs a patented technology for thermal control. It is designed to incorporate the functions of a mass flow meter, control valve, and valve controller and has very few moving parts.
FluidCom has already been delivered to several international oil and gas majors. With TechInvent2 joining the Yokogawa Group, Yokogawa will now target delivery of this solution to the oil and gas upstream and midstream sectors.
