The valves have been installed and their operation in extreme  proving the safety and reliability of the technology. Top-of-the-line severe service valves featuring Metso Omega(TM) multistage trim design can tackle even the toughest applications for anti- cavitation and noise reduction purposes, thus lowering operating costs and minimizing the need for valve spare parts and other accessories. This, in turn, means a lower total cost of ownership.


Metso has a strong position in control valves for petrochemical, chemical, oil & gas, and power customers through its well-known Neles rotary control valves, globe valves, and intelligent valve controller offering. Neles standard and severe service globe valves represent an important element in their extensive portfolio of control valves. The technology plays a key role in most critical processes that operate at extreme pressures and temperatures.
