The valve industry has continued to support the “green” goals of the process industry by providing leak-less or leak-resistant valve designs. With the potential of multiple leak paths, valves have historically been a weak link in the process system in terms of fugitive emissions and process or energy leaks. Recent design advancements have improved the integrity of the valve and its ability to resist leakage. Also, the addition of sensors and smart technology has provided additional safeguards to discover leakage or performance problems early.
Since the first edition of Valve Handbook in 1998, the valve industry has continued to evolve with these dynamic times. Economic pressures brought on by widespread global recessions in 2001 and 2007 have forced the process industry to rely on technology and stricter standards to produce greater efficiencies across the production cycle. In addition, corporate management oncerned with increasing internal costs.
