Rockfin is an engineering company specializing in the design, manufacture, testing, and servicing of oil and fuel systems for gas turbines, steam turbines, generators, compressors, and high-pressure drives and control systems. Working very closely with MAN Energy Solutions Schweiz, Rockfin recently secured an order to supply two skid packages to the Lysekil Refinery in Sweden. Rockfin already had close relationships with Oliver Valves from previous projects, but with the application demanding products suitable for use with hydrogen as the process media, the enquiry was quickly diverted to Oliver Hydcovalves; the latest addition to the Oliver family of companies dedicated to new energy applications.
It was able to present Oliver Hydcovalves to the Rockfin team, exploring the technical challenges driven by hydrogen valves applications and showing how it has developed valve technology specifically to meet these challenges head-on.
Rockfin’s confidence in its new brand and knowledge of hydrogen valve technology convinced them to place a significant order for several isolation manifold block valves in both DB and DBB configurations.
These valves will utilise fully hydrogen compatible materials, including the latest polymer seal technology design specifically to meet the demands of hydrogen applications. Both stem and seat seal arrangements have been tested at Oliver’s in-house R&D facility to ensure long service life, reliability, and safety.
