ARCA supplies valves for natural gas reservoir

As the demand for natural gas increases in the European Union, reservoir capacity is becoming increasingly important. After two years of construction the first phase facilities at the biggest natural gas reservoir in Austria has been put into operation, current storage capacity is 1,2 billion cubic metres of natural gas. Completion of the second phase will see this double, equivalent to approximately a quarter of the annual Austrian need for natural gas.

The valves that have been delivered by ARCA will be used in the gas drying plant as well as in the rejection process. The high pressure angular valves for drilling water, which contains solid contaminants at pressures up to 160 bar, has proved a particular technical challenge. For this application control valves with multistage hard metal trim were chosen for their ability to operate under extreme conditions
