Oliver hydcovalves are H2 ready
Oliver Hydcovalves manufactures valves for hydrogen and carbon capture applications . R & D is a fundamental part of the success , and dedicated testing facilities in Knutsford , UK , have enabled it to be the first to qualify the ball valve with hydrogen . The valve was designed and tested to Oliver Hydcovalves own qualification standard that incorporated the requirements of ISO 15848-1 and was then verified by a third party with hydrogen . The R & D engineering team is comprised of long-term employees that know the industry , supported by new generations of engineers through the apprenticeship programme and university graduates , who all share a common motivation : to be the best . Test facilities include a hyperbaric chamber capable of testing valves to an equivalent water depth of 13,600 ft . designed for subsea applications such as carbon dioxide storage , enhanced well recovery , and subsea hydrogen storage . Valves available for hydrogen applications now include transportation valves qualified in three bore sizes to meet the requirements of ISO 19880-3 and pipeline valves that are metal-seated , endurance tested to over 400 cycles , and after which remain rated with zero leakage .

After a new round of funding , Rhode Island ’ s Clarke Valve is ready to scale up its Dilating Disk™ Valve technology , a climate-friendly alternative to traditional industrial valves . According to CEO Kyle Daniels , his new technology helps stop methane leaks in oil and gas infrastructure and can radically reduce the release of fugitive emissions . In August , Clarke Valve announced a USD 5M Series D funding round led by Flowserve Corporation , with additional funding from OGCI Climate Investments , Saudi Aramco Energy Ventures , Chevron Technology Ventures , and New World Angels . The funding comes as large multinational energy companies are trying to reduce methane leaks
as part of their climate goals . Daniels said the Dilating Disk™ Valve eliminates all three sources of emissions that come from valves , including fugitive emissions , venting emissions , and steady-state emissions . “ We were able to make our control valve electrically powered rather than mechanically powered . By going electric , you reduce your emissions to zero , just like a car ,” he explained . “ Additionally , if you eliminate the fugitive emissions from the valve itself , then your total emissions go to zero . As we have observed in the past two years , we have installed valves in the field that have measured zero fugitive emissions .”
