Automation for the P2X and hydrogen industry

Optimized energy production planning from day one

In the Power-to-X journey, integration and foresight are everything. That’s why we lead with optimizating. Automation can help you plan smarter, purchase better, and produce more efficiently. 

Optimization starts already during your feed phase. To built the most truly optimized production architecture, collaboration between technology and automation is crucial. With our automation system, you are able to make the most optimal production plans from day one.

Intelligent automation from a proven partner

At the core of Valmet's automation system are our distributed control systems (DCS). Our automation platforms are engineered for the entire Power-to-X value chain. From hydrogen production and purification to synthesis and storage, they deliver a web-based, unified control interface with real-time monitoring and optimization.

Its modular, scalable architecture adapts from pilot setups to full-scale industrial plants, and it integrates seamlessly with your existing infrastructure. Featuring secure remote access, built-in cybersecurity, and compliance with IEC 62443, DNAe supports a future-proof, secure operation, no matter your synthetic output, be it e-methanol, green ammonia, or synthetic aviation fuels.

The DCS is crucial to collect and process all information gathered throughout the plant. Power-to-X demands precision, not just control. That’s why we provide powerful process visibility with tools like the Valmet MAXUM II gas chromatograph. It continuously analyzes gas compositions in real time to ensure hydrogen purity and optimal synthesis conditions. Alongside it, we offer a large array of flow control technology, and automation tools such as PlantTriage and Advanced Process Controls (APCs) to support decision-making based on accurate, timely insights and data.

Utilizing data to drive performance

Valmet’s Energy Management System (EMS) is your predictive powerhouse when it comes to automating your hydrogen plant. It continuously collects and analyzes data across your hydrogen production, identifying the optimal production planning, even before a single molecule is synthesized. This ahead-of-the-curve planning is your competitive edge in a high-usage, cost-sensitive environment. Our solution is designed with sector coupling in mind, knowing that optimization comes from knowing the underlying integrations of the process such as district heating and optimizing energy use across connected systems.

Trusted lifecycle support for emerging energy leaders

Valmet brings decades of industrial know-how from pulp, paper, and power. This experience you can trust in the fast-moving, emerging Power-to-X space. This strong foundation translates into less risk, proven delivery, and resilient partnerships.

Our services cover the full lifecycle: from system engineering and commissioning to ongoing optimization and cybersecurity, tailored to Power-to-X needs. Whether upgrading system components, training staff, or ensuring security compliance, we’re with you every step of the way.
