Petrochemical global synergies IMI Critical

IMI Critical Engineering joined forces with sister company IMI Precision Engineering providing a bespoke solution for China Petrochemical International Company. The combination of the collective knowledge and expertise of the IMI family of businesses allowed to put together a package of valves and actuators, in a deal worth £ 4,7 million, showing real commercial value working in tandem to fully satisfy the dynamic requirements of the project.

The package of valves and actuators was destined for use in China Petrochemical’s coal liquefaction process, and showcased a variety of IMI technologies: IMI Critical Engineering’s IMI Orton business supplied 24” cryogenic butterfly valves, while IMI STI provided quarter turn actuators. The project also made use of filters and regulators from IMI Norgren in addition to IMI Maxseal partial stroking solenoid valves from Thompson Valves, and positioners from IMI STI / IMI Watson Smith. The process, led by IMI Orton with IMI STI actuators and Thompson Valves, part of IMI Precision Engineering, was considerably streamlined from a customer perspective, on the basis that IMI Critical Engineering provided a single point of contact for the customer.
