Paladon Systems to help support European gas supply from Transcaucasian region
To be fitted to 1” to 6” control valves, Paladon Systems has been awarded an order for the supply of 5 double-acting and 11 spring-return linear self-contained electro-hydraulic valve positioning systems. The compact manifolded control systems provide precise 4 – 20mA valve positioning control and include accumulators to allow for 2 valve strokes via manual operation of the solenoid valves should the electrical power supply be lost.
Sales Manager – Electro-hydraulics, Kalam Mohammad, “This pipeline project will be invaluable in helping to meet Europe’s growing energy needs over the next few decades and we are delighted that our valve positioning technology has been selected to support it. We started bidding on this project in 2015 and understand that it was our technical ability to meet the extremely fast valve positioning requirements, as well as being able to adapt to the numerous evolving control system requirements that helped us secure this prestigious order.”
Engineered by WorleyParsons, the Trans Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline Project (TANAP) runs across Turkey and forms the central part of the Southern Gas Corridor (SGC) project which will stretch 3,500 kilometres from the Shah Deniz Gas Field in Azerbaijan to Italy. Scheduled to be completed in 2018, TANAP will initially carry 16 billion cubic metres of natural gas per year, rising to an expected 60 billion cubic metres by 2026.
