BEL Valves Wins HIPPS Valves Order with Orion Valves

BEL Valves, part of the British Engines Group, continues to strengthen its capabilities in High Integrity Pressure Protection System (HIPPS) applications, supplying engineered isolation valves designed for high-pressure, safety-critical service.

As part of a recent HIPPS valve package, BEL Valves is manufacturing and supplying nine 7 1/16" 690 bar valves, engineered to meet demanding technical, performance and operational requirements.

HIPPS are safety systems designed to protect people, equipment and the environment from potentially dangerous overpressure events. If pressure rises above predetermined safe operating levels, the system acts rapidly to isolate the source before downstream equipment is exposed to conditions beyond its design limits.

Isolation valves form a critical part of a HIPPS package, where reliable operation, rapid response and dependable shut-off are essential. By rapidly isolating an overpressure event, HIPPS can help prevent damage to downstream equipment, reduce the risk of unplanned shutdowns and maintain safe operations.

The use of HIPPS can also reduce the requirement for downstream equipment to be designed for the highest upstream pressure, potentially reducing equipment weight and cost while maintaining the required level of operational safety.

High-pressure HIPPS applications place significant demands on valve design, manufacture and performance. BEL Valves’ in-house engineering and manufacturing capabilities enable valve solutions to be developed around specific operating conditions and technical requirements, drawing on extensive experience in high-pressure and demanding energy applications.

From initial engineering and material selection through to manufacture, assembly and testing, BEL Valves provides control over the complete valve manufacturing process at its Newcastle upon Tyne facility. This enables the business to support specialist valve packages where safety, reliability and technical performance are essential.

The latest HIPPS package further demonstrates BEL Valves’ capability in critical isolation and pressure protection applications and its ability to engineer and manufacture high-integrity valve solutions for demanding operating environments.

With more than 60 years of experience and an installed base of over 70,000 valves worldwide, BEL Valves continues to deliver engineered valve solutions for critical applications across the global energy sector.
