An agreement covering worldwide sales and marketing as well as the establishment of a new product company are central to Aker Maritime’s work on marketing new valve technology. From its head office at Stord, Aker Valves AS is responsible for the design, development and sales of the Aker Klyde valve. The patented double block and bleed Aker Klyde valve represents a new generation of ball valve with a focus on quality, safety and lifetime. The valve’s main characteristic is that it embodies two valves in one. This brings significant savings in weight and number. The valve requires little maintenance, has a long lifetime and low lifetime costs compared with other valves on the market.
