Pursuing the Market for Gas Turbine Valves
Gas turbines provide electricity and steam for electricity-generating plants, but also for oil rigs on floating platforms and food processing plants which create the biogas used by the turbines.
Reconsidering Valve Specifications: Looking Beyond Rising Stem Ball Valves
Dehydration of gas in LNG liquefaction plants is one of the most important and critical processes, with major disruption possible in cases where the gas is not properly dried.
LNG Outlook to 2025 in the United States
Fossil fuels will continue to be critical for modern economies for the foreseeable future. In its latest Energy Outlook, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) stated that petroleum and natural gas will continue to be the most-consumed energy sources in the United States until 2050. Of all fossil fuels, natural gas is the cleanest; that is, it is the one that generates the least amount of greenhouse gas emissions when burned.
Baker Hughes Announces Major Turbomachinery Order for Venture Global LNG’s Project
Baker Hughes has been awarded a contract and granted notice to proceed by Venture Global LNG to provide a liquefied natural gas (LNG) system for the first phase of the Plaquemines LNG project in Louisiana.
Energy Transition – Valves for LNG and Aerospace Applications
As many companies and producers of energy are looking toward establishing a cleaner future, a great amount of consideration is being put into the environmental impact of various fuels. As oil and gas will continue to be used in many industries for the foreseeable future, liquid natural gas (LNG), has become used more frequently, especially in various aerospace applications. Valve World Americas had the opportunity to speak with valve expert Scott Moreland to gain more insight on the future of the valve market, and which valves are best suited for these applications.

Oliver Twinsafe Seals
The Fife LNG plant at Mossmorran, operated by Shell, can provide a challenging environment for any high-pressure valve, but when a need arose for a number of ANSI class 300 DBB valves with a high operating temperature range, few manufacturers could meet the requirements.
Featured Story – Fitness for Service and Valves
Badak LNG is one of the largest natural gas liquefaction plants in the world, located in Bontang, Indonesia. There are 8 process trains - capable of producing 22.5 Million Metric Tons Per Annum of LNG - and they use steam turbines for driving power generation and refrigeration compressors. On January 27, 2011, a routine inspection detected several cracks on a 24” #600 gate valve located on a steam line.
