Power generation and process industries require large quantities of valves that may vary in size, type, and values to regulate the flow of different media types.

The current uncertain oil & gas climate requires a flexible and resilient approach in an extremely competitive landscape. Innovation and solution driven thinking is crucial in leapfrogging self-imposed boundaries, leveraging technologies and practices developed and matured in similar industries or embracing newly developed capabilities.

Every control valve application is different. While rules and standards of practice exist for how they should be used, they are not always followed.

Fugitive emissions have always been dangerous to employees, communities, and the health of the environment and the planet as a whole.

Fugitive emissions have always been dangerous to our employees, communities, and the health of the environment and the planet as a whole. This universal concern has proven to be difficult to address until recently, when chemical and petrochemical plants gained access to more sophisticated tools to pinpoint, measure, and monitor the source and extent of fugitive emissions. This includes data from satellites, aircraft, drones, and airborne sensors, and special infrared cameras.

The oil and gas industry faces the dual challenge of transitioning to a low-carbon energy future to manage the risks of air pollution and climate change, while simultaneously expanding access to the economic and social benefits afforded by petroleum energy to the global population.

Fugitive emissions have always been dangerous to our employees, communities, and the health of the environment and the planet as a whole.

To start, we have to know what a valve is. The answer is simple: a valve is a device that regulates, directs, or controls the flow of fluid by opening, closing, or partially obstructing passages.

Passing valves is a well-known problem in oil, gas, and petrochemical industry, which imposes operational and maintenance challenges to operating facilities.

Rotary plug valves combine the strengths of globe valves with those of rotary valves: high control accuracy at a competitive price.
