TYCO COMPLETES $100 MILLION SHELL PEARL GTL CONTRACT WITH VANESSA VALVES AND BIFFI ACTUATORS
Jun 24 2009
Tyco Flow Control (UK) has announced details of the unprecedented order it is now completing with Vanessa triple eccentric valves for the Shell Pearl (Gas to Liquid) GTL project at the Ras Laffan Industrial Park in Qatar, estimated at over $100 million in value. The size of the project led to the involvement of several major EPCs located in various countries and continents, but such was the strength of Tyco global capabilities and its handling of the extremely challenging SGSI (Shell Global Solutions International) Type Approval Test (TAT) programme that it resulted in a truly outstanding result.
Initial contact was established with Shell in The Netherlands in 2005 to discuss the Pearl GTL project and the necessary TAT programme for valves. There followed eighteen months of technical discussions to define the applicability of the Vanessa zero leakage triple offset rotary process valve range, the acceptance criteria and the scope of the TAT programme.
