Increasing environmental regulation, rising energy costs and technological challenges demand a great deal from the chemical industry. But it does not have to face the tougher requirements alone. The use of hydrogen as an energy carrier, along with digitalisation and automation as valuable tools, helps the industry to meet these ever-tougher requirements...and this is where valves come into play.
Valves support the chemical industry across the entire value chain, from production processes to the use of hydrogen. They streamline workflows and make a significant contribution to energy efficiency when integrated as part of an intelligent system. Nowadays, valves can be much more than simple control or shut-off components.
Climate-friendly and cost-cutting
Combining valve, drive and measurement technology with digitalisation makes it possible to monitor, control and optimise processes in real time. This not only supports more climate-friendly production, but also cuts costs. In this way, the chemical industry is positioning itself to remain internationally competitive – a decisive factor in challenging times.
Yet increasing digitalisation is just the beginning: artificial intelligence is taking plant and production performance to a whole new level. One example: Algorithms can detect anomalies at an early stage, enabling maintenance intervals to be calculated precisely. The chemical industry benefits from shorter downtimes and further optimised processes. It may sound like a dream, but it’s rapidly becoming reality...
