A comprehensive range of control valves, now known as iCV (intelligent control valves), was introduced in May. The iCVs are fully suited to both general and demanding applications, especially in hydrocarbon processing plants. The offerings consist of eccentric rotary-plug valves, V-port segment valves, Neles RotaryGlobe valves, high-performance eccentric disc valves and top-entry rotary control valves. The iCV rotary control valves eliminate the gland-packing leakages associated with rising stem globe valves. The company’s non-leakage, live-loaded valve packing prevents loss of raw materials and also effectively eliminates the need for gland packing maintenance and associated costs. — Metso Automation Oy, Helsinki, Finland
