Making a big difference to ethylene project engineering

As demand for ethylene rises, so does the need for valve solutions that offer maximum reliability, safety and performance. After safety, uptime is a major determinant of whether an ethylene plant can be sustainably profitable in an increasingly competitive global market.

Improving process safety and cutting costs with process ball valves

Ball valves are used in various process industry applications. The most typical solutions are in on-off and ESD applications, but high-performance ball valves are also widely used in control applications. In this article, the author explains by means of a hydrocracker example  how challenging correct valve sizing and valve selection in control applications can be.

Flow control innovations in wastewater treatment

Wastewater treatment facilities face increasingly complex challenges in managing diverse chemical processes, ensuring environmental compliance and optimising operational efficiency. As the industry evolves to meet stricter regulations and sustainability goals, the demand for sophisticated flow control equipment has grown. This article explores recent developments in flow control technology for wastewater treatment, including contributions from companies such as Valmet. 

Decades of flow control reliability in wastewater sand separation at Salon Vesi

Municipal wastewater treatment is needed everywhere. Even though valves are just one part of the process, they actually play an important role in making the whole process efficient. When the valves are chosen correctly, and they fit the process needs accurately, other parts of the process like pumps wear out less quickly. This was the case at the municipal waste water treatment plant in Salo, Finland.

Race against time at Smurfit Kappa Kraftliner

The Smurfit Kappa Kraftliner paper mill in Sweden was having problems with its evaporation plant. The mill chose to replace the damaged heating surfaces with Valmet’s TUBEL heating surfaces. But with the collapse of a 350-tonne crane, a standard replacement job became a race against time.

The Otava navigates in challenging conditions

The Otava operates in the Kotka archipelago as a commuter and oil recovery vessel. The vessel's navigation in icy conditions is facilitated by a modern automation solution provided by Valmet.

Hydropower generation in the Himalayas

The Indian National Hydropower Corporation (NHPC) operates several hydropower plants in India. The total installed capacity of NHPC has already gone up to 5295 MW. One recently commissioned project was the SEWA-II project in the lower Himalayas in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, having a total capacity of 120 MW.
