We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Process Valve",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Pneumatic actuators cut maintenance requirements from
Festo, which we summarised at the time by saying "Custom designed pneumatic valve actuators feature at the Thames Water Ashford Common water treatment plant".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Automation supplier gets Fieldbus training from
Fieldbus Center: "Fieldbus Center at Lee College to train sales professionals on Foundation Fieldbus in first such agreement between a Fieldbus Foundation training centre and major automation equipment supplier".
In November 2005, we covered the news from Festo
- take a look at Alliance marries automation with process valves
which says: "Automation supplier Festo has signed a co-operation agreement with the leading process valve manufacturer Gemu".
Take a look also at the news release from Midland ACS, Manifold unit improves sealing integrity,
as well as Control upgrade integrates more intelligence from Siemens Automation and Drives,
and Package provides complete valve control from Asco Valve.
