The breakthroughs and challenges of 2021 at IMI Critical Engineering

As the year draws to a close, IMI Critical Engineering have looked back at the last twelve months to celebrate the achievements of their teams, examine the challenges they’re faced, and recognise how they can continue to best serve their clients.
The world around us is constantly changing, and 2021 was no different. Despite the difficulties posed by the ongoing pandemic and other factors, IMI Critical Engineering have continually adapted to help their customers solve complex engineering challenges and optimise their operations.
IMI Critical Engineering have used breakthrough engineering talents to support new sectors and help customers make their workplaces safer, more efficient, and more profitable. Their Valve Doctors have continued to assist teams in both person at sites and remotely using IMI Connect, providing expertise and maintenance guidance whenever it is needed.
IMI Critical Engineering have launched new products in 2021, including EroSolve MMT, designed to tackle erosion in valves by corrosive products being processed. Their teams have also increased the number of installations for customers of Retrofit3D and dBX Shield orders, both fairly recent additions to portfolio of problem solving products.
IMI Critical Engineering engineers have collaborated to find new ways to help customers achieve their end goal and solve industry challenges. For example, the Retrofit3D team recently helped an oil & gas customer in Nigeria to replace an undersized mini flow line valve, providing a drop-in cost-effective solution that avoided replacing the entire valve, to help the customer keep costs low.
The team here at IMI Critical Engineering are also planning for the future. They’re expanding our engineering and manufacturing capabilities with new factories and teams joining the workforce. We are also exploring problems in new industries including hydrogen and pharmaceuticals. Their new environmental goals include commitment to use only green energy at their sites by the end of 2022, and decision to become net-zero for emissions around the globe by 2040.
Jackie Hu, Divisional Managing Director at IMI Critical Engineering, said: “It looks to be another busy year ahead for us as a team in 2022. Our strength is what makes us One Big Team playing to win in 2022 and beyond! We’re excited for 2022 where we will continue solving our customers challenges and use our breakthrough engineering for a better world.”
