Unexpected problems in flow control equipment are the bane of all process engineers looking to start up projects on schedule. Valves are often (incorrectly) identified as being ‘bad actors’ as the root cause tends to lie elsewhere, is the experience of Valmet’s Mr Börjesson. Better on-site practices could be the solution, is his message.

Mr Gyllenram, to jump right in, what are the likely repercussions of the steel transition on current industry players? This transition is going to hurt – there are no two ways about it. This is much more than simply implementing new technology, deploying hydrogen, and then everyone can carry on as usual. To be blunt: some companies may have to close if they’re not competitive. I have witnessed this process before, when the world was hit by an energy crisis in the 1970s.
