Power plant valves for the energy transition
We recognise that while renewable power is on the rise, the transition from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources such as solar and wind power will take time. As a company with 50 years of expertise in the power sector, we are committed to enhancing the efficiency and operations of combined heat and power plants, coal and gas plants, and reducing their emissions. We are also proud to supply our leading valves to the growing renewable energy sector.
With over 120,000 of our valves installed in power plants worldwide, we offer you unrivalled know-how, expertise, and 24/7 support through our 200 field service specialists, manufacturing plants, and service centres located around the world. Our values are grounded in supporting a cleaner and more sustainable energy future for all.
Our innovative power plant valve solutions aim to improve performance, reliability, sustainability, and reduce environmental impact during the power industry’s transition to renewables.
Combined heat and power (CHP) plant valves
IMI Critical’s highly engineered valves and actuators, with an installed global base of 10,000, provide precise control of steam temperature and pressure for combined heat and power (CHP) plants, improving performance and enabling greater efficiency and reliability.
Coal power plant valves
At IMI Critical, we support the coal-fired power industry by offering a range of technologies to ensure safe and precise control of operating conditions within plants. Our over 100-years of industry knowledge has taught us the continuous challenges operators face.
Combined cycle power plant (CCPP) valves
IMI Critical offers specialised solutions for combined cycle power plants. Our turbine bypass valves withstand thermal cycling, reducing risk of damage while the feedwater pump controls use DRAG® technology to prevent cavitation damage. We also offer actuators, silencers and other flow control services to optimise performance.
Nuclear power valves
IMI Critical’s expertise in legacy valves and advanced technologies supports safe and reliable operation of older and next-generation reactors, including small modular reactors (SMRs), helping to advance the nuclear energy industry and meet the world’s growing energy needs.
Renewable power valves
IMI Critical’s components are crucial for the growing biomass and molten solar industries, which are driven by rising demand for greener energy and falling costs. IMI Critical’s reliability and expertise make them the leading supplier for turbine bypass and feedwater pump control valves, as well as components for concentrated solarpower plants.
Hydrogen power valves and solutions
Hydrogen’s unique properties enable the energy transition and decarbonisation. Its growth is driven by cutting the cost of renewables, fuel cell tech’s versatility, and the urgent need to reduce emissions.
