WITT-Gasetechnik expands its ULTRA model range WITT-Gasetechnik has introduced new, larger ULTRA 30 and ULTRA 40 models to its range of ULTRA non-return valves. The ULTRA 30 and ULTRA 40 extend the model range to now include four models with type-dependent connections from ½" to 2½".

The ULTRA series is the latest generation of non-return valves from the gas safety technology company and offers performance features such as high, optimised flow rates despite its small size and an opening pressure of around 4 mbar, making them ideal for low pressure applications. “We are pleased to further expand our range of high-performance models with the ULTRA 30 and 40,” said sales manager Andrew Smart. “This will enable us to provide our customers with further competitive advantages.” The ULTRA is small in size, has a low weight, high flow, low pressure drop, and low-noise operation.

The valves can also be configured to meet specific requirements. Brass, stainless steel or aluminium housings can be combined with sealing materials such as FPM, EPDM or FFKM. The ULTRA series is suitable for towns/ natural gas, as well as for LPG, propane and hydrogen. The non-return valves can be installed in any position and are available with G or NPT threads. They are cleaned for use with oxygen in accordance with the EIGA and CGA standards.

Design engineers can also reduce the system size and increase efficiency at the same time as well as reduce costs in pipework, thanks to smaller nominal diameters, for example in low pressure natural gas lines.

Decom Engineering celebrates three contract wins and a strong performance in 2021

Decom’s cutting technology engaged in a 1,000-cut programme to remove seabed pipeline infrastructure located in water depths of 70 to 100m and includes concrete-coated pipelines ranging in diameter from 5 to 18". Prior to the Asia Pacific mobilisation, Decom completed the cutting of a production spool in 160m of water from one of the UK North Sea’s most northerly platforms, which followed on from supporting a well-abandonment workscope located in the Kinsale gas field in the Celtic Sea, off the south coast of Ireland. In addition to the triple contract, Decom has invested £200,000 to establish a new operational base near Aberdeen, Scotland, and will mark its opening in the coming weeks with a series of technology showcase demonstrations for UKCS-based clients. “With the imminent opening of our new facility in Aberdeen, located on the doorstep of a strategically important North Sea client base, and further investment planned for extending our equipment fleet, we are very much looking forward to taking the business to new levels of activity in the year ahead.” Decom Engineering www.decomengineering.co.uk

This has been sealed with landing our largest-value cutting project to date, and if all goes to plan in the Gulf of Thailand, we expect this will create more opportunities. “We are in the process of tendering for a number of other significant contracts, which if successful would propel the business forward and ensure we start 2022 in a very strong position.”
