Oil & Gas
Valve & Automation together with their global partners have a long history working with oil refining companies. Pressure to comply with tougher legislation in South Africa has increased over the last few years whereby refineries will be required to further reduce emissions while still having to meet the tough challenge of increased plant safety as well as reduce plant maintenance and production costs to remain competitive. V&A regularly supply solutions to Sapref, Engen, Natref and Astron Energy helping them meet their core objectives. V&A solutions range from safety valves, reduced bore and full bore fire safe ball valves through to ESD valves.
