Oxford Flow, a flow control equipment specialist, has secured its largest order to date, valued at nearly US$1 million, for its ES stemless axial flow valves. The order from bp is a significant milestone in Oxford Flow’s expansion in the US market.
The ES Series delivers on performance, reliability, and emissions control for a wide range of severe applications in the oil and gas, petrochemical and process industries, and aims to set new standards for sustainability and efficiency globally.
With no mechanical actuator, stem or drive train, the ES valve is smaller and lighter than some conventional valves. The ES is operated using a compact, low power, electrohydraulic powerpack, making it ideal for remote applications, as well as making it simple to retrofit into existing operations. Additionally, the valve’s internals are engineered to maximise flow rates while minimising turbulence, which minimises erosion on sealing surfaces. This design ensures the ES valve delivers long-term zero leakage performance, even in the most challenging applications.
Dr Chris Kennell, VP of Sales – Americas at Oxford Flow, commented: “We are thrilled to partner with bp for what will be our largest deployment of the ES valve in the Americas market. Demand for the ES valve is growing globally, not just because of its minimal maintenance requirements, but also due to its proven ability to reduce emissions.”
