POWER INDUSTRY

The generation of electricity is vital for modern civilization. It can be accomplished in many ways including photovoltaic, electrochemical, solar, and wind. However, these are very smallin scale. The vast majority of electrical energy generated is by turning a turbine, usually with steam. That’s where valves enter the equation, and SHIELD's valves offer the advantage over competitors.

We have provided valves and valve actuators for the power industry for over 10 years. Requiring valves that typically see steam pressures of up to 4,500 psi and temperatures of up to 1,050 °F,SHIELD's double and triple offset valves are built to meet the rigorous working conditions of today’s power plants. Power plants must stay up and running 24/7, and the reliability of SHIELD's valves ensure the durability of plant operations.

SHIELD offers rugged reliability in a proven design. Large diameter resilient seated butterfly valves have the same beneficial design features as the smaller diameter valves. The internal disc-stem drive connection eliminates exposed retaining hardware and the seat completely isolates the valve body & stem from the line media. This dry body and stem (shaft) design is important for preventing internal corrosion and is particularly beneficial for power plants that use seawater for the circulating water service.

One of the primary concerns of the industry is safety, and rightfully so. The industry needs reliable, proven valves that limit or extinguish the potential for hazardous situations. SHIELD's valves are designed for just that. Our high performance valves are engineered to perform under the harshest conditions of the industry and can be relied upon to deliver dependability, versatility, and reliability at the most affordable price available.

Independent and internal tests prove our valve's superior service life capability, with zero leakage shutoff. The SHIELD's High Performance Valve delivers the highest quality and highest value available for meeting today’s demanding requirements. Triple offset valve is a premier isolation valve, well suited for operation in light vacuum to high pressure applications. The standard, non-rubbing, metal-to-metal sealing system is inherently fire safe. Applications requiring absolute zero leakage are ideally suited for triple offset technology.
