Neles Jamesbury and Mapag

valves are the world leaders in

reliable high-performance

industrial gas flow control

solutions Since the 1970s Metso

has been providing valves and

accessories that meet the

industryrsquos most diffi cult process

challenges across the entire range

of industrial gas processes

cryogenic adsorption and

membrane technologies

Our complete line of control automated

on-off and manual on-off valves and

accessories answers the needs for accurate

control tight shut-off high reliability and

low maintenance Our solutions include

high-performance triple eccentric disc

valves ball valves and control valves as well

as actuators and accessories In addition weoffer industry-specific product innovations

such as valves for cryogenic applications

high-cycle applications and emissions

control We even offer a software system to

help you size and select the right valve

and accessory for control onoff and safety

applications

Our Service Center personnel are trained

to maintain diagnose and troubleshoot PSA

VSA valves and installations To ensure the high

reliability demands Metso has designed a

preventive program which minimizes the

number of unpredicted failures Accurate

documentation of the service actions prevent

over servicing which helps in keeping the

maintenance costs under control As a result

downtime upgrades cycle changes and

outages are greatly optimized

Cryogenic solutionsHigh reliability at low temperatures

Metso is uniquely equipped to help

you meet the rigorous demands

of cryogenic air separation Our

products and experience cover the

entire process including cold box

throttling valves yard valves cold

box automated valves

We are the world leader in cryogenic con-

trol with specialized products that include

metal-seated Neldisc Mapag and soft-seated

Wafer-Sphere high-performance butterfly

valves

Our cryogenic testing facilities allow a

thorough evaluation of the valve The perfor-

mance can be verified accurately in extremeconditions fulfilling the needs of internation-

al and customized standards

Cold shock test is a special test developed

in a close co-operation with our customers

for simulating the real conditions in an cryo-

genic plant Cryogenic liquid is used inside

the valve to demonstrate the cold shock

behavior

Cryogenic Testing

Our cryogenic testing laboratories in

Finland Germany and the USA are the

largest and most advanced of any ded-

icated valve test facility in the world Its

computer-controlled testing system

assures cryogenic valve performance

during commissioning and subse-

quent operation This reduces delays

and time spent troubleshooting while

ensuring complete inspector safety A

wide range of valve types and sizes

can be tested including ball valves up

to 36(900 mm) and high-performance

butterfly valves up to 54 (135m)
