Common challenges

In a process environment, where some of the most corrosive, scalable and otherwise demanding medias (e.g. lime and ash) are present, technical challenges in flow control are common. Any lightweight flow control equipment can easily cause continuous maintenance and even risk the stability of the whole process.

Despite these challenges, operators must ensure constant and safe power generation. The performance of any process starts with the equipment and when it comes down to corrosive, abrasive and demanding conditions, right equipment choice really matters.

Reliable flow control for the energy industry

To achieve high process efficiency, it is important to select suitable and properly sized equipment for the right application. We know the energy industry. For 65 years, Valmet has been working to help future-proof business and protect assets in many sectors of the power generation market – from new emerging technologies, such as bioenergy, waste-to-energy and geothermal plants to other power plant areas like gas and steam turbines.

Our comprehensive line of reliable and environmentally compliant valves and pumps – purpose-built for uncompromising reliability – allows you to generate grid-compatible power at the highest availability and operational economy. Whether you need to reduce fugitive emissions, decrease noise and cavitation or meet tightening environmental regulations, you can depend on us.

Valves, pumps and services for power plants and energy industry

Control valves

Control valves are the most important part of any process control loop, vital in stabilizing processes. Neles™ control valves are engineered, manufactured, tested and optimized for your specific application. Our flow control solutions offer reliability, productivity, and sustainability, allowing you to maximize your output and profitability.

On-off valves

Intelligent, reliable on-off Neles valve solutions for general and high-cycle applications will help to reduce the life-cycle costs. Our valve solutions provide long lasting tight shut-off with fast and safe operation together with reduced fugitive emissions. Neles shut-off valves combined with intelligent valve controllers provide diagnostic capabilities and increase plant safety.

Flowrox™ heavy duty pinch valves

Flowrox PV, PVE and PVE/S heavy duty pinch valves are designed for shut off and control applications involving abrasive or corrosive slurries, powders or granular substances. In the open position, the valve is full bore with no flow restrictions. During closing, two pinch bars squeeze the valve sleeve shut on the center line. Bubble tight shut-off is provided even if solids have built up on the sleeve wall.

Flowrox™ LPP-D dosing pumps

Flowrox LPP-D pumps are ideal for dosing and flow control. The dosing pumps provide accurate dosing in all process conditions as the pump discharge flow does not depend on the pipeline pressure. There is no variation due to the discharge pressure condition, output remains the same on every cycle. They are ideal for demanding process media.

Flowrox™ LPP-T peristaltic pumps

Flowrox LPP-T transfer pumps incorporate advanced single roller design which eliminates friction and lowers energy consumption. They are ideal for pumping various slurries and dosing a wide range of abrasive, corrosive, viscous or crystallizing media.

Emergency shutdown valves

Reliable intelligent emergency shutdown (ESD) valves and actuators with Neles™ ValvGuard™ intelligent valve controllers improve your plant safety cost efficiently. In Neles we have combined our know-how of valves, actuators, safety standards (IEC61508/61511), applications, system operability and partial stroke test devices with intelligent prediction tools. Diagnostic information is presented understandably to enable planned maintenance of potentially failing valve assemblies before they have a chance to impact the process or safety.

Valve controllers

High availability and easy interpretation are the key success factors in effective field device data analysis. Valmet valve controllers support standardized technologies and ensure the availability and usability of diagnostics information independent of your control, safety or asset management system.

Reliability is at the core of every successful process plant’s operations. We are your reliable partner for valve services.

Insights into energy industry

Q-disc™ – Born to perform under pressure

Valmet’s Neles™ Q-disc™ flow balancing trim is all about reducing noise and taking off some of the pressure directed onto the disc and shaft of a butterfly valve. It is able to do both things with great efficiency and reliability thanks to unique features such as the perforated design and fixed integration onto the disc.

Outstanding performance and zero maintenance with reliable Flowrox pinch valves

Reliable Flowrox™ high performance PVE pinch valves proved to be a perfect solution for a power generation water treatment plant located in Mpumalanga, South Africa. Six years after the installation of PVE pinch valves in power generation plant no maintenance has been required.
