Valve Manufacturer for the Power Generation Industry
Powell Valves has been involved in the global power generation market since the first power plants were established. Today, we are on the forefront of power production throughout the world installing our valves in hundreds of combined cycle and thermal installations including fossil, natural gas, nuclear and solar power stations. Powell is leader in power generation capital projects.
Our project management team is well prepared to assist on your power generation MRO and Capex projects. Power generation, along with many other industries, is beginning to focus more on fugitive emissions. Powell is proud to say that we are keeping up with the demand by transitioning our valves to house API 624 packing, reducing leak to 100 ppm.
Valves for Power Generation Across Station Types
Powell manufactures valves for power generation installations across fossil fuel, natural gas, combined cycle, nuclear, and solar thermal power stations. Each facility type operates under different pressure, temperature, and media conditions. Powell's project management team works directly with plant operators on both MRO and capital expenditure projects to match the right valve configurations to each station's requirements.
Power Generation Valve Types
Powell produces a full range of valve types used throughout power generation facilities. The product line includes:
- Gate valves for on/off isolation service
- Globe valves for throttling and flow regulation
- Check valves for backflow prevention
- Non-return valves for system protection
- Butterfly valves, including high-performance and resilient seated designs
- Ball valves in threaded/socket weld and flanged configurations
- Bellow-seal valves for applications requiring zero stem leakage
- API 594 dual plate check valves
Each type is available in multiple material specifications and pressure classes.
High-Pressure and High-Temperature Valve Designs
Power generation systems operate at elevated pressures and temperatures that require valves engineered beyond standard commercial specifications. Powell's API 600 cast steel valves are available in gate, globe, non-return, and check configurations in cast carbon, stainless, or alloy steel. For higher-pressure service, Powell's API 600 pressure seal valves use a bonnet design where internal system pressure increases the seal load, improving joint integrity as operating pressure rises. Powell also manufactures API 603 corrosion-resistant valves in gate, globe, and check designs, and API 602 forged steel valves for small-bore applications.
