Valves for different applications in gas processing and LNG

Floating LNG

Gas to liquids (GTL)

LNG

Offshore

As offshore exploration moves to more remote and hazardous locations, the demand for safe and intelligent flow control systems intensifies. In these harsh environments, it’s critical to have equipment that allows operators to continuously monitor the safety and efficiency of the rig. We test every single pump and valve before delivery to ensure quality and safety.

Insights into gas processing and LNG

Validated processes and competency enable long-term, safe operation of oxygen service valves

Oxygen service valves operate in one of the process industry’s most hazardous environments. Oxygen is not flammable but supports and accelerates combustion. This means that oxygen service valves need to be designed, manufactured, tested and maintained to prevent this by mitigating the ignition source and contact with fuel. This article focuses mainly on cleaning, inspection methods and guidance on packaging, storage, installation, operation, and maintenance.
