    Featured Story – The race for offshore green hydrogen

    Valve World Publisher -
    Offshore green hydrogen, based upon wind or a wind-solar combination, could be a viable option to harness wind energy to be used for transportation and hard-toabate industries. Currently, several consortia have started pilot projects to test the technology, also for scaling-up. Ørsted’s H2RES project in Denmark is one of them.

    Featured Story – Metal-to-metal seals for demanding applications

    Valve World Publisher -
    Elastomeric seals such as rubber gaskets and O-rings have long been the “default” sealing solution. However, for the most demanding applications, only metal-to-metal seals can provide the necessary resilience and performance, Saint-Gobain Seals states.

    Featured Story – Neles: re-inventing reliability through material science

    Valve World Publisher -
    According to Neles, re-inventing reliability - it’s company motto- is a critical mission that impacts technology and product development. Jussi Hellman, Manager of Materials Engineering at Neles, reliability is very much the domain of material science. “More times than often, material wear is the root cause of failures, which leads to unplanned downtimes and production loss.”

    Featured Story – Procurement cycle for tag check valves

    Valve World Publisher -
    Valve sizing and selection is important when it comes down to bespoke solutions. As opposed to bulk items, these tag items need to comply with requirements from our Process Department. This also applies to tag check valves, most of which are non-slam. Understandably, the procurement cycle for tag check valves differs from bulk items.

    Featured Story – The future is green ammonia

    Valve World Publisher -
    Ammonia is a building block gas. It can be used as a neutraliser, stabiliser, refrigerant, and fertiliser, and in any number of industries and processes, as well as being a fuel in its own right. It is also tipped to become the most efficient carrier method for hydrogen. Several green hydrogenammonia projects have gained traction in recent months.

    Featured Story – Pipeotech: blazing the trail for zero-leakage gaskets

    Valve World Publisher -
    Pipeotech has been blazing the trail for zero-leakage gaskets. The Norwegian company has developed a patented design –the DeltaV-seal– that is the tightest, safest and most durable gasket on the market, the company claims. Not surprisingly, Pipeotech has issued a 10-year gas-tight guarantee on this product.

    Featured Story – Digital process optimisation for medium-sized industrial companies

    Valve World Publisher -
    SAMSON and InfraServ Wiesbaden have launched a joint pilot project to optimise the biological water treatment plant processes in the Kalle-Albert industrial park in the city of Wiesbaden. The pilot is based on SAMSON’s IIoT-platform.

    Featured Story – Leak testing: the great gate-globe valve misunderstanding

    Valve World Publisher -
    Normally when testing a new pipe system, pipes and valves undergo initial testing: two leak tests, a 150 percent hydrostatic test and an N2He leak test. These tests not only test the flanges connecting the valve to the pipe, but also test the bonnet body connection and all the plugs/fittings in the valve body.
