1. New Company for Pipeline Ball Valves
Velan is pleased to introduce Velan S.r.l., a joint venture company established to manufacture API 6A & 6D Trunnion-Mounted Ball Valves for pipelines and offshore platforms. The new company is headquartered in a 40,000 sq. ft. (3,700 m2) office and plant in Mezzago, Italy, just outside of Milan. Velan is, of course, already an experienced ball valve manufacturer, and has been manufacturing API 6D ball valves in North America for the oil and gas industry for many years. In fact, Velan has held the API 6D Monogram for ball valves since 1993. The establishment of a new company in Milan enables us to expand our current product line and offer one of the most comprehensive ball valve lines available from any manufacturer.

  3. 3. Next Generation Nuclear Valves
Velan's involvement in the nuclear energy goes back to the 1950s, supplying valves for experimental reactors that were precursors to the navy and commercial nuclear programs. Since then, Velan's nuclear capabilities have continued to grow to meet the industry's evolving needs, and Velan remains a leading supplier to the nuclear industry with valves in the majority of the world's nuclear power stations. Today, as the US NRC's Generic Letter 89-10 imposes new stringent requirements on nuclear valves, Velan remains at the forefront of the industry, with next generation MOV's designed and qualified to the highest standards.

Velan has begun to ship Securaseal Severe Service Metal-Seated Ball Valves for the Rio Tuba Nickel HPP Project, in the Philippines. The new plant, scheduled for comissioning in Summer 2004, will process low-grade nickel oxide ore to produce intermediary nickel products using the High Pressure Acid Leaching (HPAL) method developed by Sumitomo Metal Mining. In all, Velan will supply over 150 severe-service metal-seated ball valves in Titanium, Super Duplex SST and Alloy 20. Velan's Securaseal Type N Metal-Seated Ball Valve is a mining industry veteran, trusted for many of the most severe mining applications.
