Conval Clampseal Valves

Conval CLAMPSEAL® gate, globe, check, and throttling valves represent the proverbial better mouse trap. Ingeniously simple, the basic valve is comprised of only nine components. The valves are lightweight and at the same time incredibly tough and durable. Perhaps most significant of many advantages, the CLAMPSEAL® valve is much easier to repair than anything else on the market. The bad old days of use it up and throw it out have been replaced with a desire for quality, renewability and longevity. Low first cost is not as important as low cost over the serviceable life of valves. Conval has benefited from this change in attitude and is still growing.

Available in sizes from ½ inch to 3”, to ANSI 4500, in a wide variety of materials.

Holtec International

The Holtec International Power Plants Components Division (PPCD) provides custom engineered equipment such as tubular heat exchangers and pressure vessels for electric power generation plants. The main focus of PPCD’s business concentration is the large and complex heat transfer equipment essential to the operation of a power plant. Prominent among such capital equipment are main steam surface condensers, feedwater heaters, component coolers, moisture separator reheaters and auxiliary heat exchangers.

Much of the manufacturing capacity in the U.S. for building large, capital heat transfer equipment has been lost in the past 20 years to overseas manufacturers leading to a parallel (and inevitable) decline in the domestic design capabilities. In this period, PPCD has emerged as a bastion of equipment design know-how with a solid resume consisting of a large number of completed projects. The result has been a dramatic growth rate in PPCD’s contracts in recent years.

Holtec engineers have published stores of technical papers on heat exchanger design and analysis, most of them in the permanent literature. These Holtec papers have significantly influenced the development of heat exchanger methodology for over three decades. Therefore, look to Holtec for all your thermal exchange needs.

Vogt Power International

Vogt Power International Inc., specializes in the design, manufacturing, and supply of Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSGs) and aftermarket related services. The Vogt name traces back to 1880 when Henry Vogt founded the Henry Vogt Machine Co. (HVMC), a company that entered the boiler business in 1902 to provide a heat source for its ammonia absorption refrigeration machine (or ice machine).

HVMC’s Heat Transfer division evolved from the manufacturing of gas, oil, and coal-fired boilers, to the production of industrial and utility-size HRSGs designed to recover and recycle heat from gas turbine exhaust. The “Vogt” name has been associated with a history of firsts: 1962- production of the first HRSG; 1972- introduction of the first three-pressure-level HRSG; 1988- release of the first re-heat HRSG, and installation of the first HRSG behind a F-Class turbine. Other firsts include the industry’s first integral deaerator and first interstage burner.

Vogt Power International Inc. is recognized throughout the world as an industry leader with a foundation of engineering excellence and expertise for HRSGs.
