Curtiss-Wright announces new Exlar Tritex EVA
Topsoe has signed a contract with Allied , a developer of energy infrastructure projects , to deliver its dynamic green ammonia technology for Allied ’ s project in Gove , Northern Territory , Australia . The produced green ammonia is intended to be exported from Gove to the expanding South East Asian markets where
demand for e-fuels continues to grow . Production is planned to start in Q4 2028 / Q1 2029 , targeting a capacity of 2,500 MTPD . Topsoe is also in discussions with Allied to supply an undisclosed quantity of its SOEC to produce green hydrogen .
Curtiss-Wright ’ s Exlar Actuation Division has announced that its new Tritex EVA electric valve actuator has achieved CSA Class 1 , Division 2 ( C1D2 ) Hazardous Location certification . It also outperformed American Oil & Gas producers ’ expectations for rugged field test operations in Texas , Oklahoma , and New Mexico . The Tritex EVA answers the demand for an efficient , high-speed solution while meeting the Methane Emissions Reduction Program and Quad-O zero-emissions
regulations in the Oil & Gas Industry . The Tritex EVA is environmentally friendly and efficient with a powerful , compact system integrating a servo drive , motor , and roller screw actuator to achieve extreme life , speed , and accuracy . Combining the simplified actuation system with Modbus RTU communications enables producers to have remote operation and monitoring - all with less components when compared with pneumatic systems .
Valbia pneumatic actuator and Ghibson butterfly valve
Valbia and Ghibson have combined their expertise to offer the market an automation package consisting of a “ double eccentric ” butterfly valve ( HD Series ) and a single or double-acting pneumatic actuator ( 82 Series ). The package was tested for reliability and robustness under heavy duty service conditions . The test was carried out at a temperature of 20 ° C through repeated cycles at 3-second time intervals and was voluntarily discontinued , given the excellent results , after about 1,600,000 cycles in the absence of signs of wear . All inspections showed that the actuator and valve were in perfect condition .
