Velan ABV: Our products and services

What we offer
Velan ABV specializes in the design and manufacture of special
valves and actuators for oil and gas, LNG, and offshore applications.
Velan ABV’s core business includes critical applications for high-
pressure, high-and low-temperature, corrosive, and abrasive
service. Our products are available in a variety of standard and
unique materials such as Duplex, Super Duplex, Inconel, Titanium,
and Monel. Velan ABV is licensed to API 6D and API 6A standards,
and all valves are designed fire-safe and certified to API 6FA/API
607/ISO 10497 and BS6755-2 standards.

Velan ABV’s Quality Management system is certified according to

ISO 9001:2008 and 97/23/EC (module H1) of PED qualification for the
CE mark of the valves for the European Market.

The company ‘s structure is solid, but its operations remain flexible

and reliable. It targets full client satisfaction in manufacturing
customized valves for even the most demanding clients in the oil
and gas industry. Inspection and tests
By combining our extensive experience in R&D, engineering, and Velan ABV valves are tested according to our own internal speci-
field work, Velan ABV produces complete systems for on-off and fications and procedures, which fully comply with the applicable
control service. standards as well as customers requirements. Chemical analysis
and physical mechanical properties of valve components are
reviewed by our Quality Control Department.
On-off service We conduct non-destructive examination (NDE):
• Emergency shut-down ser- • Subsea safety isolation • Positive material identification
vice valves (ESDV) valves (SSIV) • Dye penetrant testing
• Blowdown valves (BDV) • Gas-over-oil systems (GHD)
• Magnetic particle testing
• Riser valves • Pressure line break valves
• X and gamma ray testing
• High-integrity pressure • Cryogenic valves
protection systems (HIPPS) • Ultrasonic testing
• Shallow and deep water
• Surface safety valves (SSV) subsea valves • Visual and dimensional inspections

All Velan ABV valves are also subjected to tests in accordance with
Control service API 6D/API 6A acceptance criteria:
For oil and gas CHOKE applications • Low-pressure pneumatic seat testing
• Oil/gas production • Gas injection • Verification of actual stem torque needed to open the valve at
• Water injection • Separator level control maximum differential pressure
For oil and gas throttling service • Drift testing for full bore API 6A valves
• Anti-surge • Blowdown control valve
• Gas regulator • Emergency depressurization Optional tests
Velan ABV also conducts:
• High-pressure gas nitrogen tests
• Fugitive emission tests, according to ISO 15848–1 & 2
• Cryogenic tests to verify valve performances
at -150°F (-101°C) and lower
• Fire tests: to verify the performance of valves when
subjected to fire
• Hyperbaric chamber tests: to verify valves for subsea service
• Slurry tests

HIPPS: High-integrity, pressure-protection systems
MAIN FEATURES
HIGH INTEGRITY PRESSURE This system is an independent system that is able to prevent
overpressurization of the downstream pipe automatically,
PROTECTION VALVES without operator intervention.
It consists of:
•• Pressure transmitters (generally in 2oo3 logic) that sense the
high-level pressure and transmit the signal to the logic solver
•• Logic solver (with degrees of redundancy as per customer-
specific request) that, once integrated in a cabinet with a PC
interface, is able to sense the signal coming from the pressure
transmitters and then give the signal to the solenoid valve(s) of
the HIPPS valve(s)
•• HIPPS valve(s) that can be in 1oo1 or 1oo2 logic (commonly),
are composed of a valve plus an actuator plus a control panel
with solenoid valve(s); the solenoid valve(s) are operated by
the logic solver, and are thus able to control the valve position
(open or closed)

The HIPPS valve has a functionality similar to an ESDV (emergency

shutdown valve), with a fail close emergency action, but it is
designed to guarantee a higher safety level.

In particular, when the valve is closed, it must be guaranteed that

all the downstream line pressure is below the upper safe limit,
while the upstream line may be in a much higher pressure condition.
The HIPPS is the final element of the high-integrity, For this reason, the HIPPS valve is generally designed for a high-
pressure-protection system pressure classes and it is SIL certified.

Furthermore, it is generally provided with electromechanical

operating during the first degrees of its closing action, without
having to completely close the production line (by closing the valve
completely).

Upon request, we can also perform a seat integrity test without

closing the valve.
