ABB and Dresser Masoneilan collaborating on emergency shutdown valves
ABB will collaborate with Dresser Masoneilan on an integrated process to monitor, test and manage emergency shutdown valves (ESDV) during all operational conditions, from normal plant operations to abnormal situations.
Valve revenues could rise to $52 billion by 2015
The world market for industrial valves will grow from $44 billion this year to $52 billion in 2015. This is the latest forecast in Industrial Valves: World Market, published by the McIlvaine Company.
New portable control valve diagnostic tool
Dresser Masoneilan has launched the next generation ValScope-PRO, a diagnostic tool for control valves with both conventional and digital positioners. The ValScope-PRO helps customers identify problems by providing a scientific evaluation of valves in operation.
