For Simo Sääskilahti, Senior Vice President of Valves business line at Metso, digitali-zation is one of the key enablers to serve its customers better. “Customer centricity is a key pillar in our strategy. Metso has a tightly-knit and constantly growing dis-tribution and service network supporting customers globally. Digitalization forms an integral part of our strategy and vision. It offers us new and exciting options to serve our customers better”, Sääskilahti says.Of course, most companies probably would state they are customer focused and are striving to have a physical pres-ence in the market. What makes Metso stand out in this respect?Sääskilahti nods: “I see what you mean. I would agree that most businesses talk about similar goals. The difference is how you want to get there and what the level of execution is. As I mentioned before, customer-focused digitalization for us is a tool that has an impact on our business and our customer’s business in a profound way.”Sääskilahti continues with a striking exam-ple of this impact. In the project procure-ment and project execution phase, there are frequent exchanges of valve-related and engineering data going back and forth between EPC-companies and suppliers. In the early procurement phase, EPCs require budgetary quotations from suppliers to estimate the project costs. As they move further in the procurement bids with end customers, EPCs require the suppliers to submit the final and firm quotations.

More agile approachIn general, the budget quotation and final quotation phases can be relatively short, Sääskilahti states. This leaves the sup-plier a limited period of time to produce a high-quality proposal on the specifica-tions and the quotations. Also, during the process, several revisions to the technical specifications and data may occur.

“As a leading valve supplier, we already have a very proficient project quotation team staffed by experienced project quo-tation engineers. To add to this strength, we will also be able to act faster and in a more agile way as we are developing digital data processing tools that will fa-cilitate digital data exchange between us and EPCs. The saved time and effort can be used for creating smarter solutions for customers. Digitalization can also support joint learning in the future, through im-proved analysis of data. Another key area of our development is to improve the end-to-end project life cycle management with improved support to, for example, revision management.”

Digitalize to make life easier

By Lucien Joppen

“Metso strives to make life easier for its customers and partners, including EPCs, distributors and end users. Due to time pressures, which all parties experience, we should contribute to more efficient and effective ways of doing business. In order to achieve this, we invest in digitalisation as a tool. Quality, accessibility and digital exchange of data are key in improving business efficiency.”

Simo Sääskilahti heads the Valves Equip-ment Unit within Metso’s Valves Division. “My Unit’s role is very much connected to product innovation and tailoring our prod-ucts to the demands of the market, as well as developing our processes and tools for improved customer experience.”

COVER STORY

Time for value-added activitiesFor Metso, automating these time con-suming and sometimes repetitive tasks is designed to create time on “both sides of the fence” for value-added activities such as solving complex issues that have an impact on project execution. “Non-value added activities are usually associated with large amounts of paperwork, slow or even manual data transfer that need to be checked over and over. We have decided to reduce and rationalize this process. We are already working on pilot projects to ad-dress this issue and plan to roll this out in the near future. “As for the development of these digital tools, Metso has opted for the so-called

agile approach. This means that the com-pany is aiming for short-cycled (software) releases that will be frequently updated with additional useful features. These up-dates will be based on customer and user feedback in order to continuously improve functionality for the end user.

Distribution business very important areaIn addition to project activities, distribution sales are also a very important compo-nent of Metso’s busines, Sääskilahti says. “Metso works in strong cooperation with distributors, or partners, as we like to call them at Metso, and has developed soft-ware called “Metso Valve Partner Portal”

with which the partners can independently create firm quotations for their customers. This has drastically reduced the response time to quotation inquiries to the end cus-tomers. Partners have embraced this new tool with great enthusiasm. Besides the speed, it has also brought the quality of the final quotation to a total new level - due to more direct communication and less mid-dle men.”

Installed base listsDigitalization is not only used by Metso to streamline project development, but also as a tool in existing assets. According to Sääskilahti, digitalization pertaining to the installed base begins at the base with a comprehensive inventory and rational-ization of said installed base. Metso has extensive experience in this process in the pulp and paper industry. “In many cases, these installed base lists are not up-to-date and/or complete. Over time, new items have been added by hand with varying spelling types. Each variant is listed as a new item - which it isn’t. This in turn leads to a top-heavy list, which also makes it hard to use for asset man-

Hexagon collaboration

In September 2018, Metso’s valve business joined forces with Hexagon PPM-division, the world’s leading provider of asset life cycle solutions, for the design, construction, and operation of industrial facilities.

The agreement complements Metso’s digital quotation tools, and it will enhance the efficient exchange of inquiry, quotation and project execution data between Metso and its EPC customers who use Hexagon PPM’s SmartPlant and Smart software suites. The majority of Metso’s EPC customers that cater for the oil & gas and petrochemical industries use the Smart Instrumentation software suite. Metso’s existing digital valve project quotation tool will be integrated with Smart Instrumentation.

“Our vision is to provide our clients with a seamless customer experience by combining the power of Metso’s digital tools, knowledge of the end customers’ technical needs and process requirements, together with Hexagon’s solid experience in engineering and information software development,” says Rashmi Kasat, VP, Head of Digital Business at Metso.

agement/maintenance. Just to give an example: we have streamlined such lists from 5000 items to just 550! Imagine the difference for the maintenance team - the installed base just shrinking to little more than 10%. By harmonizing and stream-lining these lists, significant savings in man hours and inventory costs can be achieved. It also paves the way for more advanced maintenance concepts, such as predictive maintenance.”

More with lessIn establishing a bridge between process

(parameters) and monitoring/mainte-nance, valve performance data are nec-essary to “listen to the valves talking”. Metso’s (smart) control valves hold per-formance and condition data that can be used to save on maintenance costs, pre-vent unplanned shutdowns and subse-quently optimize output. “In the current production climate, the demands are high”, Sääskilahti says. “Be-sides the economic parameters you just mentioned, there is also a hightened regu-latory, environmental and safety pressure, for example, on fugitive emissions. With

In 2018, Metso is celebrating its 150th anniversary. The company was established in 1868 as a local ironworks. During its 150 years, Metso has been in many businesses, ranging from steam engines, locomotives, car manufacturing, forest machines, and pulp and paper machines, to valves, metal and waste recycling equipment, and solutions for rock and mineral crushing and screening, to name but a few.

Over the decades, Metso has evolved through a series of mergers, acquisitions and divestments. The acquisition of the Indian company Rotex is the most recent addition (see box text Extended valve solution portfolio).

The present-day Metso is a global enterprise with operations in more than 50 countries and over 12,000 dedicated professionals. The company provides the world’s mining, aggregates, recycling, and process industries with “innovative solutions for the sustainable

processing and flow of natural resources”. Besides mining and construction, Metso focuses on products and services for the flow control business in process industries. Metso’s valve

business (the company has been active in this field for 95 years) focuses on supplying valves and related services under Neles® and Jamesbury® product families for oil and

gas in mid and downstream, petrochemical and chemical, industrial gas, pulp and paper, power and other process industries.

Metso’s valve operations network is geographically widespread and includes world-class valve production facilities located in Finland, Germany, China, South Korea, India, Brazil and the United States. Its extensive flow control services offering covers business solutions and services that optimize equipment use and cost of ownership. Metso currently has approximately 40 valve and field device service centers worldwide.

Metso 150 years in business

Extended valve solution portfolio

In addition to streamlining the way it does business, Metso has continued to invest in other areas too, states Sääskilahti. For example, it has expanded its product offering and geographical reach with the acquisition earlier this year of the valve automation division of the India-based valve technology company Rotex Manufacturers and Engineers Pvt. Ltd (RMEPL). The acquisition complements Metso’s actuation and valve automation offering and enables a full range of actuators for all major valve markets and a broader offering of limit switches for various applications. It also introduces new products to Metso’s process valve portfolio for the oil and gas, pulp and paper, mining, water treatment and other process industries. “With these solutions, we offer an even more comprehensive portfolio to cater to the wide variety of needs customers in process industries have. Their challenge is to find the optimal solution for each application easily and efficiently from a trusted supplier. In addition to compatibility, reliability and performance, we are committed to providing excellence in services and customer support,” says Sääskilahti.

A valve portfolio built on innovations. The story of the 40+ year-old Neles® butterfly valve series began back in 1973 when the co-founder of Neles Oy, Antti Nelimarkka,

asked his team to finalize a sketch he had drawn in his legendary notebook..

our smart control valves and additional analysis tools, we are able to fine-tune the production process.”

Eye on the process 24/7Generating process data is merely the first step. It is equally important to select rel-evant data sets, analyze the figures and provide specific data for decision-making purposes. Metso has developed specific software designed to monitor the production process 24/7.“Our award-winning Metso Expertune PlantTriage control loop monitoring software has been developed by a team with hundreds of years’ worth of control experience. As such we are also able to assist operators and/or main-tenance personnel who are less experi-enced.”In most plants, Sääskilahti states, there are hidden problems that are degrading production efficiency and costing money. These problems can range from controls in manual mode to incorrectly operating control valves. In general, valves are key el-ements in controlling production, efficien-cy and continuity. With Expertune Plant-Triage, these problems are brought to the surface and prioritized. “Expertune PlantTriage also includes inte-grated loop tuning, instrument, and valve analysis, so you can choose the best pa-rameters to optimize your process. Met-so’s profound know-how regarding smart positioners and valve position feedback systems has been incorporated into Ex-pertune PlantTriage to meet customers’ needs for improved reliability. Expertune PlantTriage has also been tested inten-sively in different demanding industries, including refining, chemicals, and pulp and paper.”

Innovation in materialsApart from innovation in the digital world, Metso keeps investing in order to expand its offering. One interesting area is materi-als R&D for its products. Here the compa-ny is aiming at solutions in severe service applications, for example, in mining. For one, they have developed advance slurry valves that are able to replace knife-gate or pinch valves in isolation services. Knife-gate valves are not the most optimal for control service, Sääskilahti says, while pinch valves are not suited to high temper-atures.

“Valve designs based on metallic con-struction materials and a rotating closing member offer the best of both worlds. With our R&D in metal compositions and coatings we have developed metal-seat-ed ball valves suitable for severe control service that are able to handle pressures up to 30 bar and temperatures ranging be-tween 200 and 300 degrees Celsius. We will continue to develop better material solutions, ultimately to reduce MRO costs and increase the lifespan of our valves. In other words, to make life easier for our customers.”

Install-and-forget no longer an optionFinally, Metso will also be exhibiting and presenting at the Valve Expo and Confer-ence. Ville Kähkönen, the Director of indus-try management of Metso’s valve business, will use his presentation to outline which

measures are needed to ensure an ESD valve’s operation and safety instrumented function (SIF) remains available during the long-term. ESD valves are often thought of as install-and-forget devices. However, is this the right approach? ESD valves must perform faultlessly in an emergency sit-uation. The question is then: how do you keep these valves operational at all times and fulfill the original safety requirement specifications?“As long as existing safety standards con-tinue to be revised and new standards appear, there always will be considerable confusion about what the safety require-ments for ESD valves actually are”, Ville Kähkönen says. “The truth is that the in-stall-and-forget approach is no longer an option for an ESD valve. You need to take care of several aspects of its lifecycle be-fore an ESD valve can be reliable and com-pliant.”

Metso at Valve World Expo

Metso is exhibiting at the Valve World Expo in Hall 3, Stand F46. The company will organize three short info slots at the stand twice a day, focused on digitalizing and enhancing customer experience in complex EPC projects, advanced diagnostics for control valves and Metso’s latest product updates. Furthermore, Cristian Moraes will talk about IIoT for process control on the Expo floor stage on Wednesday morning.

12:30 End of conference

ISO and API have standards covering valve design requirements, production testing of valves, and quality qualifications. Relatively recent standards covering performance testing have been introduced, such as for FE. While seat tightness or torque require-ments are as important as FE, there is no comprehensive ISO or API valve type testing standard. ISO/TC 153 is working on a new standard at the proposal stage: ISO/NP 23632 “Industrial valves – Type-testing of valves”.The main objective of this workshop is to increase awareness of the community re-garding the fact that there is no standard for type testing of valves. We will present exam-ples of valve component failures during such type tests. We will also present a proposal of a type testing protocol encompassing mechanical, pressure and/or thermal cycling. This will serve as the basis for our workshop discussion. We are very interested in your comments, questions, and suggestions, and remarks so please come along and take part.It promises to be an interesting and very useful discussion for end-users and man-ufacturers alike, as well as being a unique opportunity to meet leading experts working on this new ISO standard.

OPEN FORUM

Open forum panel discussion:

Keeping pace with a changing marketGet set for a very lively discussion at 11:00 on Tuesday 27th November, when Wojciech Zmudzinski will moderate a panel discussion of experts at the Valve World Conference.

This panel discussion is open to all at Valve World 2018, pre-registration is not necessary

The valve industry is far from static at pres-ent. There are several dynamics that make our sector ‘lively’, such as the geopolitical climate (trade conflicts), climate change (stricter regulations), volatility in pricing (materials) or data-driven management, to only mention a few.In order to stay in business (the license to operate) the valve industry needs to adapt to changing conditions or – even better – be ahead of the competition.

In the discussion, which will kick-off the Valve World conference, a panel of experts (see boxes below) will address the most pertinent challenges that will impact the valve industry in the coming years. Some of these challenges are of a general na-ture, but there are also day-to-day chal-lenges that need to be addressed such as product obsolescence, maintenance in all its forms, cutting costs, counterfeiting, digital technology, materials selection, and

standards. Some of these topics will then be handled in greater detail in the individu-al sessions of the conference. This unique panel discussion is open to all – confer-ence delegates, exhibition visitors and stand holders alike – so please do come along and share your practical solutions/advice to some of these challenges and help to shape solutions to problems that affect industry as a whole.Meet the panellists:
