Metal Seated Ball Valves
V Series Metal Seated Valves • Longer Service Life. Absolute Zero-leakage
VSeries
Longer service life means reliable, maintenance-free operation and a four-year leakage warranty for power industry applications. This is just the start of what you get with ValvTechnologies’ seat-supported severe service metal-seated ball valves.
The V Series’ proven seat design provides improved performance, far beyond the capability of linear operated valves – which feature obstructed and torturous flow paths. V Series valves are engineered to be leak-free, position-seated, maximizing flow and reducing the overall cost of ownership. The design and construction deliver the extra safety margin so crucial to maintaining productivity.
Coking Valves
Decrease unscheduled downtime and possible production losses with ValvTechnologies’ Coker Valves.
The delayed coker process is a batch process, one of the most hostile environments in the refinery due to the abrasive and erosive properties of the coke by-product – and is crucial to a refinery’s profitability. Valves are cycled frequently and failure can lead to a complete shutdown of a unit, resulting in large process and financial costs. Optimizing valve life-cycle is critical to operational efficiency: ValvTechnologies has the best solutions to meet your coking requirements.
Parallel Slide Gate Valves
Rugged Dependability.
IsoTech®, ValvTechnologies’ parallel slide gate (PSG) seat-protected valves, are the culmination of years of practical design enhancements and eliminating the limitations of typically accepted norms in gate valve design. Proven precisely right for steam and feed water isolation applications, IsoTech® valves offer our rigorous four-year, zero-leakage warranty for steam and water applications and low-cost maintainability.
IsoTech® valves’ exceptional durability is in large part due to the use of our HVOF RiTech® hard coatings with a RC 70 seat hardness, and are designed for up to ASME/ANSI Class 4500 at 1800°F (982°C).
Low-Emission Valves
Fast-acting, High-cycle PulseJet Valves to Reduce Fugitive Emissions.
ValvTechnologies’ PulseJet valve is a fast-acting, high-cycle fugitive emissions valve designed to send a pulse of gas through a pipeline system. A trunnion-mounted ball valve, capable of 90° or 180° rotation in speeds as low as 0.5 seconds or faster, this fast actuation speed is what creates the gas “pulse” through the pipeline system. PulseJet systems can be used to clean system filters, spray chemicals in an injection type system, or pulse debris/media through a pipeline to prevent clogging.
ValvTechnologies is the leader in fast-acting, high-cycle, fugitive emissions valves. This technology is unmatched in the industry.
Key Design Features and Benefits
These systems cycle many thousands of times per day. Conventional packing systems cannot handle the abuse of the fast cycle speed combined with the high cycle count. ValvTechnologies’ EcoPack® solution was designed to address this challenge. The EcoPack® seal has been lab-tested at high pressure and line temperature to 450°F for over 500,000 cycles, requiring zero adjustments or maintenance. This equals longer plant operation between maintenance intervals, improved site safety, and less emissions from the stem packing.
Slurry Valves
With the largest installed base of any metal seated ball valve manufacture in slurry service, ValvTechnologies understands what is required in difficult abrasive applications. ValvTechnologies’ slurry products have been designed based upon 30 years of experience in the mining industry. Our integral seat design, zero-leakage testing requirements, and in-house coating capabilities have become the standard for long valve service life and reduced downtime in critical slurry applications where the valve cost is only a small fraction of the overall cost of downtime caused by a valve failure.
Electronic Relief Valves
Pilot Operated Relief
Consider the safety rating, productivity value and cost savings of electronic relief valves – the relief valve whose standard blowdown and set pressure is accurate to 1/10% of 1 psi. ValvTechnologies’ ERV is the perfect combination of zero-leakage isolation valve plus the electronic controls needed to monitor and regulate system pressures in a safety valve environment and within ASME Code Section I “V” Stamp requirements where critical over-pressure protection is paramount. ValvTechnologies’ ERV is the benchmark.

Double Block-and-Bleed Valves
Safest to Service
Improve protection and isolate large equipment areas safely by specifying ValvTechnologies’ valves with double block-and- bleed capability. The proven-in-the-field ValvTechnologies “package approach” lowers installation costs – and saves time – compared to individual component assembly. A bi-directional upstream seat system, plus a bleed connection with a standard isolation valve, allows superior flexibility in use, as well as smooth, low-torque operation. Customers save on wear and tear, improve valve service life, and maximize effective in-line performance.
Turbine Bypass System
IGCC – Ready and Able
Now keep gas turbine and heat recovery system generator (HRSG) online in the event of a steam turbine trip with the ValvTechnologies’ turbine bypass system (TBS). Purposefully designed for the new generation of combined-cycle power plants, our TBS combines the proven XactrolL® severe service control valve design with a state-of-the-art de-superheating control system. At the same time, the TBS facilitates fast HRSG and CT start-ups in peaking power plants. and helps these plants operate at turndown conditions far below the levels that can be achieved with standard governor systems.
Trunnion Ball Valves
Trunnion Metal Seated Ball Valves • The Next Generation in Trunnion Technology

Designed to address the severe service demands of the upstream and midstream markets, the advantages of the TrunTech® trunnion-mounted ball valve are plentiful: low operating torque, protected sealing surfaces when in the open and closed position, the ability to operate in the presence of solids and other contamination, and more. The TrunTech® design from ValvTechnologies meets stringent emission requirements and provides long life in abrasive and erosive conditions.
Switching Valves
Decrease unscheduled downtime and production losses with ValvTechnologies’ switching valves.
The ValvTechnologies’ switch valves are designed for use in the delayed Coker found in many integrated oil refineries. There are two drums in a delayed Coker unit that work consecutively while in operation. When one drum is functioning, the other drum is being de-coked. The switching valve is required to direct hot feed to either drum A or drum B. The valve also has the bypass position to divert flow back to the fractionator for or during emergencies. The bypass has the same port dimension as the main drum feed lines. The control package also has the capability of providing multiple intermediate positions to provide the capability to warm the new drum while slowly reducing feed to the live drum. The switch valve is the most critical valve in the unit.
This valve is found in delayed Coker units where multi-port valves are required in high-temperature coking applications. These systems contain sticky residue, solids, and other system contaminants.

Check Valves
ValvTechnologies / DFT® Nuclear Check Valves.
ValvTechnologies is an exclusive distributor of in-line check valves for nuclear applications and licensed manufacturer of ASME III and safety-related check valves.
Designed to prevent “water hammer”, the spring-assisted, in-line design featured in all DFT® check valves ensures that as the forward flow in a pipeline decreases, the disc begins moving closer to the seat. By the time the flow stops, the disc is closed against the seat, preventing flow reversal. This prevents the valve from slamming closed, causing “water hammer” and the resultant noise and damage to piping systems.
