“Control Valves” and “Instrumentation protection systems” Manufacturing & Assembly line has been launched with the co-operation of the private sector in Iran. As reported by the information base of National Iranian oil company; “International West Technology Transfer Co.” has been successfully able to sign a co-operation contract with the Swiss “Overseas” company and the German “Intertec Hess GmbH” company in order to transfer the technical knowledge, design and manufacture of Control valves and instrumentation protection systems which are essential products for the oil, gas, petrochemical industries and power plants as well as the rest of the country’s fundamental industries.

Yesterday on October 22th, in the opening ceremony of the manufacturing and assembly line of control valves and instrumentation protection systems in presence of “Manufacturing Support and Procurement KALA NAFT TEHRAN” managers and experts, Mr. Asghar Manavi; IWTT Company’s chairman of the board stated that:
“IWTT Company which has started its activity since 2002 as the representative of many prominent European brands; has been successfully supplying its customers with a wide variety of equipment applied in oil, gas, petrochemical industries, power plants and the rest of the infrastructure industries.”

Mr. Manavi also added:

“This company has put its efforts and concentration to transfer the technology of control valves and instrumentation protection systems from Switzerland and Germany and to manufacture these products in masses, which are both among the 10 main petroleum product groups, in order to meet the strategic and fundamental needs of the mentioned industries.”

Control valves as he explains are extra complicated instrumentations which help the regulation of the flow through a process control system; and localizing this technology in the country will be a step towards self-sufficiency and fulfillment of the resistive economical politics.

Mr. Manavi continued: “our control valves have been designed and named in different sizes and models with particular technical specifications for each product which can be specialized and offered based on customers’ requirements.”

He continues:

“the same conditions apply to control valves; meaning that after aggregating the demands in the industry, tenders are held and initial assessments take place in order to purchase products and services from the private sector in form of contracts.”

Control valves are products which can regulate the flow in a process control system by suppressing forces other than hand power. Control valves that are classified in different categories based on their different specifications such as body material, fluid type, movement type and etc.; are the last element of the control loop and play an important and basic role in a process industry.
