The plant had two main steam isolation parallel slide gate valves (PSG’s) installed in this application. They were experiencing severe leakage when valves were required to isolate.
The cost of $40,000 per repair, was a particular concern far the plant. Management decided to look at their alternatives far an upcoming outage.
An ultrasonic survey in 2014 revealed steam losses costing £23,000 annually. Boiler tests also faced pressure loss challenges. In 2016, V1 ball valves were installed, solving these issues.
A leading producer of specialty paper products was experiencing significant steam leakage from their existing globe valves resulting in costly valve maintenance and unplanned shutdowns. Learn how ValvTechnologies provided a decades-long solution that saved the mill over $19,000 in annual labor costs and helped to recover the lost fuel producing steam.
ValvTechnologies’ decades of engineering experience led to the design of its superior, severe service zero-leakage isolation valves that exceed industry standards. In this case, it also led to ValvTechnologies’ largest ever h-oil project win and the displacement of a former firmly ingrained competitor.
A US chemical plant using wedge gate valves leaked so severely that steam passed through the valves and into the turbine making it impossible to perform turbine maintenance repair. The plant would have to be completely shut down so that the turbines could be accessed. With each occurrence, the cost associated with shutting down the plant was several million dollars per shut down.
During a routine maintenance inspection at a petrochemical plant in the Texas Gulf Coast, technicians found a defective double ball valve that was installed in the reactor block valve application. Learn how ValvTechnologies utilized its unique zero-leakage valves with RiTech® coating to engineer a cost effective and time saving solution.
The client, a bitumen upgrader based in Canada’s Oils Sands, was experiencing heavy run-time and reliability issues due to coking up in their Inlet feed Coker valves, leading to significant damage and performance issues, and therefore rising costs due to unplanned downtime. ValvTechnologies high performance purge design solution performed beyond expectations and eliminated the need for costly servicing and replacement valves and over time increased production rates and overall plant operations. Learn more about the high-performance Coker valve purge design.
ValvTechnologies’ zero leakage hi-performance isolation valves saved millions of dollars to Ecopetrol Delayed Coker Unit, allowing them to replace overhead bottoms valves without shutting down the whole unit.
The customer placed a large order for HIPPS trunnion valves, which were 8” class 2500. The scope was a total of 20 valves which were needed for the expansion of their gas field. Their excellent experience with ValvTechnologies’ on a previous order influenced them to choose our services again.
Facing hundreds of millions of dollars in production losses annually, a major global oil company placed a multimillion dollar order with ValvTechnologies for molecular sieve switching valves to replace their existing rising stem ball valves.

A power generation facility was using various valve types for isolation of high-pressure and/or high-temperature steam and water in their heat recovery steam generator and steam turbine systems, but persistent issues with these Y-Type globe, angle, butterfly, and gate valves were causing major efficiency losses that plagued the plant.
A world-renowned OEM was experiencing difficulties brought on by 70 leaking globe valves in high-temperature, high-temperature severe service applications. ValvTechnologies addressed and resolved a number of the OEM’s concerns with its innovative technology, optimizing the plant’s performance, saving the customer time and money.
ValvTechnologies met with an OEM’s HRSG design engineering team to inquire about issues they were experiencing with their plant’s globe valves. Learn how ValvTechnologies became their reliable partner and trusted advisor, and how they began the process of changing from traditional globe valves to modern advanced technology ball valve designs.
The plant had two main steam isolation PSG valves installed in this application. They were experiencing severe leakage when valves were required to isolate. From initial plant start-up, the frequency of valve maintenance of up to twice per year per valve. The cost of $40,000 per repair, was a particular concern for the plant.
