Chemical & Synthetic Fuels
Valve & Automation together with their global partners have a long history working with the Chemical, Petrochemical and Synthetic Fuel companies. Challenges in these industries vary from aggressive chemical handling to extreme pressures and temperatures. Production and engineering managers are required to meet the challenges of reducing emissions while still having to meet the tough challenge of increased plant safety as well as reduce plant maintenance and production costs. V&A regularly supply solutions to Sasol Chemical Industries, Sasol Synfuels, Fluor, Linde, Uhde and Foster Wheeler to help production plants meet their core objectives. V&A solutions range from safety valves, fully lined valves, (TOV) triple offset rotary process valves through to Emergency Shutdown Valves & PST.
