Oxford Flow’s ES valve design has been awarded “Most Innovative New Technology” at the event, which was accepted by Dr Chris Kennell and David Smith, from the Americas business development team.
This award celebrates its commitment to advancing safer, more efficient, industrial processes through innovative technology.
The Mary Kay O’Connor Process Safety Center (MKOPSC) was founded as a response to the catastrophic Phillips 66 explosion in 1989, an incident that left a profound impact on the chemical and process industries. The Phillips facility experienced a devastating explosion due to a hydrocarbon leak. In response, the MKOPSC was established at Texas A&M University to prevent similar tragedies by fostering safer engineering practices and advancing research in process safety.
In its 27th year and hosted in association with the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IchemE), the Mary Kay O’Connor Safety and Risk Conference bring together industry experts from around the world to discuss the latest developments and challenges in process safety.
This year it had the privilege of exhibiting its ES valve at the event. The technical committee recognised the potential of the ES valve’s innovative, stemless, design and believed that conference attendees would appreciate its ability to eliminate traditional valve components prone to chronic failures and emissions leaks.
The ES stemless valves offer world class performance, reliability, and emissions control for a wide range of severe service applications in oil and gas, pipeline, petrochemical, and process industries. The ES valve can also be used for transitioning energy systems, including hydrogen and biomethane applications. It provides zero-leakage isolation and regulation in a variety of materials and configurations from 2″ to 24″ (DN50 to DN600) and in pressures classes to ASME 2500.
