Severn Glocon has been awarded a contract for another major Middle East oil industry project. Severn Glocon has been selected by contractor JGC of Japan to supply control valves on the
Bab Field Development EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) project ordered by the Abu Dhabi Company for onshore oil operations (Adco). To date Severn Glocon has received orders for nearly one hundred valves for delivery early in 2004. The pneumatically actuated valves have been specified in sizes up to 500mm (20 inches), pressure rated at ANSI Class 300. In addition Severn Glocon is supplying carbon steel and aluminium self-acting regulators as well as 300mm (12 inch) and 500mm (20 inch) Vanessa rotary process valves, rated at ANSI Class 300 and 600, packaged with Biffi actuators.
