PetrolValves offers a complete single-source integrated solution for manual
or actuated high integrity ball, check, slab gate, double expanding gate and axial
flow valves, in both Subsea and Topside environments.
Subsea actuators are suitable for installation at any water depth, in both deep
and shallow water.
Topside actuators are manufactured for special applications such as very reliable
ESD & HIPPS Systems, quick-closing operations, high-torque requirements and
compact platform installations. Both Subsea and Special Topside actuated
valves employ advanced technology to guarantee high performance, reliability,
availability and safety over a long-term operational life.
