Valve solutions contract for Metso

Metso has been given a large order to be delivered to Saudi Aramco’s petroleum refining and petrochemical production complex currently under construction. The order includes a considerable number and wide range of Metso’s Neles® rotary and globe valves and Jamesbury® valves, including control, on/off and safety valves. It also includes Metso’s intelligent safety solenoid technology and valve controllers, which guarantee maximum process availability and safety while reducing overall operating costs.
