Metso's scope includes the delivery of automated control and on/off valves, emergency shut-down valves, as well as ball and butterfly valves equipped with intelligent valve controllers. As the mega–size project needs large components, many of the valves are of large diameter, sizing up to 80 inch (about 2 meters). Metso’s valves will control process flow in several process areas in the complex including the mixed feed cracker, downstream units and utilities.
