Subsea valve manufacturer KOSO Kent Introl (KKI) has announced the successful completion of a comprehensive development and qualification programme for a brand-new range of subsea control valves.
This milestone marks a significant leap forward for subsea processing, carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS), as well as hydrogen storage applications. These are sectors where precise, reliable control has historically been difficult to achieve.
Until recently, subsea systems often relied on relatively crude choke mechanisms to regulate process flows. While functional, these solutions lacked the accuracy and control necessary for optimised subsea processing, resulting in system-wide compromises and reduced operational efficiency.
In critical applications – such as subsea separation, boosting, CCUS injection, and hydrogen storage – this lack of precision could limit the overall effectiveness of the subsea infrastructure.
The answer to that challenge is the Series 1275 Dynamic Subsea Control Valve Range.
