Valve actuation for oil, gas and energy processing
Electric actuation reduces reliance on instrument air and hydraulics, while scotch yoke and rack-and-pinion pneumatics cover traditional isolation duties.
Remote pipelines, strict safety
Valves across pipelines and wellsites need dependable control with minimal infrastructure.
Typical applications
- Pipeline isolation
- Gas processing
- Storage terminals
- Wellhead automation
- Refinery utilities
