economy this year.

Products
now UL Listed! |
We are pleased to
advise that we have recently successfully concluded UL listing
of our Concentric Butterfly Valves. The UL mark is one of the
most recognized, trusted and accepted safety symbols in the
world.
This testing was conducted
by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Underwriters Laboratories®
is an independent product safety certification organization
that has been testing products and writing Standards for safety
for more than a century.
The UL Mark has been recognized
as one of the apex product certifications which validate not
only product design but also performance
through extensive testing of the product under severe conditions.
The independent laboratory, established more than a century
ago in the USA, tests samples of products to safety requirements
and conducts periodic checks of manufacturers' facilities.
In other words, it is an assurance that steps have been taken
in the interest of safety. Using UL listed products is mandatory
in some regions and by some of the high-end Oil & Gas
industry users specially to in fire safety systems to maintain
safety standards.Financial protection against liabilities
is made easier as some Insurance companies insist on usage
of UL listed products.

Going Live –
Shell's Pearl GTL , Qatar |
|
|
|
|
|
Qatar Shell has now entered into the testing
phase of the prestigious Pearl GTL project. The project
is a Production Sharing Agreement (PSA) between Qatar Petroleum
and Shell, as a validation of the Gas-To-Liquids technology
on such a scale. It has already inaugurated the plant’s
control room, the nerve center of one of the largest and
most sophisticated process control systems in the oil and
gas industry.
|
|
| Testing begins on many thousands
of pieces of equipment already installed, construction on
the rest of the plant continues – around 2 million tonnes
of equipment and materials have been imported to the site
and about 48,000 staff are working on the project. |
|
Advance Valves
has supplied almost all the DPCV requirements of this project,
involving high-end metal alloys. We are proud to be associated
with this prestigious project and wish the successful commencement
of both trains.
