With a height of 13,950 millimetres and a weight of about 120 tonnes, the valve was developed for the Amiral project, a world-class petrochemical complex under construction in Jubail, Saudi Arabia, through a joint venture between Saudi Aramco and TotalEnergies. <strong>The valve will be installed in the flare line header system, one of the critical components of oil production facilities<\/strong> designed to control and manage process gases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TRIESTE &#8211; After the big celebration, the journey begins.
