Velan, according to a company statement, announced that, last month, four complete control units combining the Key-C rotary control ball valve with the unique cable drive actuator were shipped to a gas treatment process for a modernization project of a large-scale refinery in northern Kuwait. These huge 30” Class 300 control valves are manufactured in Italy since 2010 and developed from a traditional trunnion ball design, and represent the new generation of rotary control ball valves as they match high performance with wide flow capacity.
The ball is equipped with a special caged trim–this multi-stage technology limits the chance of cavitation or flashing phenomena in liquid applications and reduces the aerodynamic noise in presence of gas flow.
