Innovations and solutions

Emerson, a global technology and industrial software leader, has announced Chief Executive Officer (CEO) David N. Farr will retire on February 5, 2021.

Baker Hughes has secured an order with Petrobras to provide a suite of digital solutions across Petrobras sites in Brazil.

SPX FLOW, a leading global supplier of premier process equipment, has added a new model of tank outlet valve to its APV® D4 series mix proof valves.

Warren Controls has announced new updates to its ValveWorks program to improve the sizing and selection process for globe and rotary control valves based on the ISA 75.01 international standard.Updates to the program improve its ability to be used to create quotes, to be easier to navigate, and the capacity to handle projects of greater complexity.

Gilmore, a Proserv Company, a leading provider of flow control solutions has appointed 25-year energy industry veteran David Nemetz as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

The new Lee 687 Side Exit Flosert is the latest addition to The Lee Co’s line of miniature flow regulating valves. The valve is pressure compensated to provide a constant flow over a wide range of pressure differentials and is ideal for high pressure hydraulic applications with system pressures up to 5000 psi.

Baker Hughes, Masoneilan have announced that the latest technology innovation of 74000 Series, Erosion Resistant Solutions, is now available for performance enhancing control.

Mechanical fail-safe solutions exist for electric driven valves, however mainly for on-off applications. For control valves often the only solution is ‘stay-put’ upon electric power failure since for mechanical fail-safe the electric actuator shall overcome both the thrust to move the valve and the spring force.

The new Festo solenoid valve VZWP, featuring a piston seal instead of a diaphragm seal, is an ideal universal process valve for water, air, and neutral media.The valve can be operated wherever there is a pressure difference between the valve input and output.

Control valves are used to control the flow of fluids or gasses within a closed system. They get directions from a controller that sends signals to the valve, so it knows the set point it must maintain, which allows for the direct control of the rate of flow within the system.
