Metso smart technology Intelligence for offshore applications Extreme durability and functionality for extreme conditions

Extreme ruggedness for extreme conditions Smooth-operating, automated process valves play an important role on offshore platforms, as in many other process plants. However, there are still some factors that make the working environment on offshore platforms very different from that in onshore plants. For example, process valves on platforms are often difficult to access and the on-site delivery of spare parts is more challenging than when operating onshore. Traditionally, process valves on offshore platforms have been controlled by either solenoid valves or by positioners, depending on the application...
