Valve Selection Guide for the Paper and Pulp Industry: Fighting Clogging and Corrosion

The Paper and Pulp industry is one of the harshest environments for flow control equipment. The combination of abrasive wood fiber slurries, corrosive bleaching chemicals, and high-consistency pulp requires specialized valve designs. This guide focuses on the valves engineered to survive here: the Knife Edge Gate Valve for isolation and the Stainless Steel Butterfly Valve for utility, ensuring long-term operation without downtime from clogging or corrosion.

The Critical Role of Cryogenic Globe Valves in LNG and Industrial Gas Facilities

Blog / Metflow Engineers

When handling extreme cold media like Liquid Nitrogen (LN2), LNG, or Liquid Oxygen, standard valves fail due to embrittlement, thermal contraction, and icing. Cryogenic Globe Valves are engineered with unique features, like the extended bonnet (long stem), to ensure reliable flow regulation and system safety in ultra-low temperature applications. Understand the critical design points that guarantee performance below -150°C.
