Three learnings on training in virtual reality

How to train people for hazardous work conditions? How to practice skills during risky situations hands-on? Combining game style training in the virtual reality environment can boost learning to new heights.

The time to act is now

Climate change mitigation is a challenge we all need to consider in our actions. The recently published IPCC Climate Change Mitigation report paints a grim picture. Unless emissions are reduced immediately and deeply across all sectors, limiting global warming to 1.5 °C will be beyond our reach. On the other hand, the report showed we have options in all sectors to at least halve emissions by 2030.    

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.

Reliable operations secured at Michigan Sugar with Flowrox™ valves and pumps

It is obvious that for the process to work efficiently and without problems, it is necessary to choose the right equipment in the right places for the process. This once again proved to be true, when Michigan Sugar was facing problems with valves in a well-oiled, meticulous system that was getting jammed up by a simple cast-iron butterfly valve. Another problem they faced was with pumping calcium. The plates of the pump were wearing out too fast and the costs were thus unbearable.

The cause of the valve-related problems encountered in industrial applications often lies in an inadequate selection of valves in terms ...

Aromatics processing made safe and efficient with proper valve selection

For reliable and safe aromatics processing, the valve selection and sizing should be done carefully. Understanding the design ...

Irving boosts jumbo set throughput with iRoll

More even tension profiles cut winder wrinkling and reduce breaks and cull. Jumbo roll set count raised from two to four. Irving Paper has managed to improve its customer roll throughput and the hardness uniformity

Guaranteed pulp quality with Valmet Dirt Count Analyzer

Metsä Fibre personnel have actively collaborated with Valmet Dirt Count Analyzer (Valmet DCD) design team and the latest result is a third generation device soon to be delivered to Metsä Fibre mills in Joutseno and Rauma.

Flow control partner spotlight: Troya Proses

Channel partners provide a valuable network to support our flow control customers all over the world. We interviewed valuable partner Troya Proses from Turkey.

Heat recovery harnesses energy

Instead of releasing heat into the air with flue gases, it is possible to harness it with Valmet’s flue gas condensing technology and use it in a number of processes. The results observed at power plants and paper mills have been excellent.
