Industry insights and Q&As

LNG processing and intelligent valves for a demanding service
The demand for natural gas is increasing globally due to its clean-burning characteristics, which is especially true for producing electricity and many industries are looking into LNG as an alternative, cleaner source of energy. For LNG producers the difference between running safe, profitable plants often comes down to choosing flow control partners with the experience and knowledge to get the job done right.

The diverse role valves play in the chemical industry
The chemical industry is extremely diverse with more than 60,000 known products. Chemicals are typically split into basic categories including petrochemicals, agrochemicals, specialty chemicals, pharmaceuticals and bio-chemicals, and consumer products. Like all process industries, the chemical industry needs valves designed for safe, efficient and reliable process operation.

What should you look for in a partner for valves in oxygen service?
To many of us oxygen is the air we breathe to sustain life. But many of our industrial customers know that it is a volatile gas that requires extra care and knowhow when dealing with it in a process environment. We in Valmet’s flow control business have the needed experience to help you select and maintain the best possible valve solutions for oxygen service.

How transparent collaboration leads to higher performance
Maintaining a plant is a challenge that requires deep knowledge and great listening abilities. When it comes to keeping valves at peak performance, we need to listen to plant personnel, suppliers and to the valve itself. When plant maintenance and reliability managers consider all sides, they get the full story and the best valve performance.

For loop tuning, do you need a bump test?
The short answer to the original question is: Yes, you do need a bump test. However, the bump test does not need to be a traditional one.

Improve efficiency by using your existing data streams
The more you know about control loops, the faster you can find and resolve issues, exploiting hidden potential – and raising production efficiency.

Identifying where process efficiency is created
Each and every pulp, paper and bioindustry customer is ultimately looking for the same thing; The ability to make more with less. Increasing the degree of automation and digitalization related to your process valves is a sure way to improve your mills efficiency and reliability.

Value for customers with different needs
Our expertise and service mentality compliment our product offering, providing true value to both EPC and end-user customers alike.
Podcasts
Our Performance solutions team provides a variety of avenues to access your favorite topics on control performance.
A typical plant is losing millions annually from poorly-performing control systems. Typically, 20-30% of controls are in manual mode. Up to 85% of control loops have sub-optimal settings. 20-40% of controllers are oscillating, adding to plant variability, and hurting reliability. With so many issues, it can be hard to monitor, prioritize, and resolve issues.
The control performance podcast is a diverse collection of topics for process control engineers. They include interviews with experts in the field, as well as, tips and tricks for the industry.
