Mokveld: A Sustainable Solution

Published: 24th August 2021 | Issue 66

Mokveld supplied the first valves for Hydrogen applications over 30 years ago. At present our axial control valves, on-off valves and check valves are operating in various H2 applications. This includes pure H2 and mixes, like syngas.

Mokveld supplied a replacement for this 30-year old 6” 600# Mokveld check valve for a hydrogen application.

Our axial check valves are engineered to be in fully open position at all relevant flow rates, even at minimum and normal flow rates because it only requires a low cracking pressure. Wear to critical parts is therefore avoided.

As a result, the valve was still functioning properly after years of service. However, in this case the client decided to replace the valve based on its service life.

Mokveld axial flow valves are lower in weight and in many cases smaller valves can be used than with other valve types. This results in low energy consumption to produce Mokveld valves and therefore lower GHG Scope 3 emissions for our clients.

The one piece body casting of our axial valves prevents a leak path to atmosphere versus many other 2 or 3 split body-designs.

In addition the casting process requires less energy than a forging process.
