The order was placed by the Toyo Japan and Toyo Malaysia consortium. Toyo will provide engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning through a turnkey contract to expand the plant life for another 20 years. "Metso is a well-known and trusted valve manufacturer with a good product history and extensive industry experience," says Yoshiro Kawauchi, (Dr. Eng), Asia Pacific Project Division, Toyo Engineering Corporation.

"With Metso's flow control technology, the plant will be able to further reduce fugitive emissions using the proven live-loaded stem packing design and by meeting the stringent ISO 15858 standards. The ESD valves will be equipped with automated partial stroke testing capabilities to improve plant safety. Metso is a global technology leader in partial stroke test devices with our Neles ValvGuard solution," says regional Energy and Hydrocarbon Sales Manager Tony Tan, Metso.
