Two more Remosa-manufactured valves will be installed at RPC's Concon refinery, Chile. This recently issued order is for a two-port diverter valve, pendulum type, cold wall design (inlet/outlet 1760 mm), and a regenerated catalyst slide valve, cold wall design, inlet and outlet 914 mm. UOP process for both valves, Foster Wheeler Iberia is the engineering contractor. (October 8, 2001)
AGIP spa of Italy received from Remosa three new valves ordered earlier this year. A spent catalyst and a regenerated catalyst slide valves will be installed at Gela refinery.
