The new ball valves in the GEMÜ BB0F series from valve specialists GEMÜ cover a wide range of applications in the chemical industry thanks to their configuration and the available construction and actuator versions.

In the oil and gas business, Downstream is the segment that converts hydrocarbons (liquid and gas) into finished products. It is commonly associated with refining and fuel production, but there is another set of operations pertaining to Downstream that are vital to our lives; we are talking about the petrochemical industry.

Consumers everywhere are using products derived from industrial chemicals and reaping the benefits they provide to improving lives. If you take a look, you would notice that everything from automobiles, smartphones, food packaging, and machines help improve our standard of living.

As a manufacturer of high performance and engineered ball valves, we are often asked about what industry standards affect these products and what should be referenced when specifying and ordering.

In chemistry, catalysis is a means of accelerating a chemical reaction between various chemicals. In a broader sense it denotes any object, activity or event that accelerates or triggers a change. In recent years the chemicals industry is catalyzing change across a whole range of industries and helping to make them more sustainable. Written by James Chater

Expanite has recently developed surface hardening solutions for the pump and valve market. The main problems in these industries often involve wear and galling – all applications where either metal sealing is needed, or due to high operational temperatures (far above 300 °C) and/or corrosive environments, conventional coatings and most non-metallic bushings cannot be used.
