ESD valves are widely used in refineries, petrochemical sites and LNG plants around the world. Top-level safety and field-proven reliability are the requirements for valve solutions. Making the correct final element selection is a vital part of a plant's safety throughout its life cycle. Valve selection should always take into consideration an application-based view, which will guarantee that valves continue to work in emergency situations.

Functional safety calculations are valid only if the right valves are selected

At IVS 2017, Ville Kähkönen, Oil and Gas Business Manager at Metso, will present a paper on choosing the right valves for ESD on Wednesday, May 24 at 16:00.

Kähkönen's presentation will introduce a procedure that should be followed to ensure that the final element has the capability to work in emergency situations.
