APPLICATIONS IN MAJOR INDUSTRIES

All over the world,Velan valves are used by the world’s leading industrial companies to help keep their operating facilities running smoothly.In fact,Velan valves have a long history of proving themselves in many of the industrial world’s toughest applications.

Thermal & Cogeneration Power

Velan has supplied complete valving in sizes Velan pioneered many innovations such as forgedvalves to 24" (versus cast-ings) to resolve external and internal leakage, extend service life and reduce maintenance.
1 /
2 to 60" to over 2500thermal power stations around the world, for low and HP/HT service of up to 4500 psi and 1200°F.

Nuclear Power

Velan’s leadership in the power field extends to the nuclear industry.Velan has supplied valves for over 300 nuclear stations in 27 countries, including 90% of stations in the U.S.A. and 100% of stations in Canada, France, Korea, China and Taiwan. Velan has held ASME‘N’ and ‘NPT’ certificates of authorizationfor our North American production facilities since 1971. We pioneered manyinnovations such as bellows seal valves (1954), emission-free packing chambers and live-loading (1968) which became industry standards.

Chemical,Petrochemical & Other Process Applications

Velan HP/HT Pressure Seal & Bolted Bonnet Valves are usedin a broad range of industrial process applications, including: •Coal Liquefaction &Gasification, •Catalytic and Fluidized Catalytic Crackers,•Catalytic Reformers •Catalyst Slurries•Heavy Oil Steam Injection•Hot Gases•Hydrogen •Olefin Plants•Coker Plants

Marine & Navy

For over 50 years, Velan hassupplied low and HP/HTvalves to the US Navy and other NATO fleets. In all, Velan valves areinstalled on over 900 Navy ships, including all US Navy nuclear aircraft carriers and many US Navy nuclear submarines and destroyers.
