New High Pressure Valves Released for Marine Sector

Published: 13th May 2016 | Issue 37 Share article:

Parker Bestobell Marine, part of Parker Hannifin – the global leader in motion and control technologies, has developed a range of high pressure cryogenic valves that are fully approved for use in the marine sector.

The valves can withstand pressures of up to 625 bar, with a range from ½˝ to 3˝ and are designed specifically for the MEGI Engine fuel gas system.

The range includes manual, gearbox operation, single actuator and tandem actuator valves. In addition, Parker Bestobell Marine also offers high pressure check valves.

Duncan Gaskin, Market Development Manager for Parker Bestobell Marine, said: “We developed these valves in collaboration with a number of shipbuilding companies which required them for the MAN ME-GI fuel gas systems.

As worldwide markets look to reduce air pollutants and with the introduction of Emission Control Areas (ECA), we expect to see demand increase for high pressure valves that are marine approved.”

Parker Bestobell Marine has previously supplied its high pressure valves for fuel gas systems for a variety of projects, including five Teekay LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) carriers being built at DSME (Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co Ltd) in South Korea, two LNG carriers being built at HHI (Hyundai Heavy Industries) Shipyard in South Korea for Knutsen OAS Shipping of Norway and three LEG (Liquefied Ethylene Gas) carriers to be built in China for Ocean Yield of Norway, which are the first to use Ethane as a fuel.

Parker Bestobell Marine’s new high pressure valve range will be launched at the LNG18 exhibition in Australia in April 2016.
