Chemical Applications for Control Valves

When it comes to flow control, very few industries are as demanding as the chemical industry. Ensuring that the mix of chemical components is accurate is critical for safety, product quality, and minimizing waste. Reducing fugitive emissions within the industry is another crucial element to consider. Keeping chemical leaks from occurring can increase an organization’s overall profitability, reduces the risk of chemical exposure to plant workers, and protects harmful emissions from damaging the Earth’s atmosphere. Additionally, it is imperative to select valves that can withstand potentially corrosive chemical fluids to reduce downtime to an absolute minimum. With all of this in mind, it is important for chemical plants to ….

At Least 25% Lower Emissions: GF Piping Systems' Plastic Butterfly Valve 565 Beats Metal Alternatives

GF Piping Systems commissioned Swiss Climate AG to perform a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for the Butterfly Valve 565 and compare it to a metal alternative. Now, the Swiss company has published a whitepaper based on the results. In addition, the LCA has enabled the Butterfly Valve 565 to become the first industrial butterfly valve with an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD).
In today’s industries, operators are increasingly reliant on long-lasting and safe piping systems that help them close water circuits, reduce leakages, and optimize their water usage.

IMI Critical Engineering Completes First Pilot Test for Green Hydrogen Generation

IMI Critical Engineering has successfully completed its first field test for the generation of green hydrogen using its new IMI VIVO polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyser. The pilot test, undertaken at IMI Remosa’s newly-opened 16,000m2 facility in Sardinia, saw a 200kW IMI VIVO PEM electrolyser successfully complete its test program in May 2023, generating 4,0kg/h (44,0Nm3/h) at 30barg of green hydrogen. The successful completion of the pilot test paves …
