Somas Valves: Engineered for Maritime and Shipbuilding Applications
Somas Valves: Engineered for Maritime and Shipbuilding Applications
In the highly demanding environments of the marine sector, the performance and reliability of onboard systems are non-negotiable. Somas Instrument AB, a Swedish valve manufacturer, delivers high-quality valve solutions engineered specifically for marine flow control in a wide range of shipbuilding applications.
Built for the Demands of Shipbuilding
The shipbuilding industry requires components that can withstand extreme conditions—saltwater corrosion, high pressures, and temperature fluctuations. Somas valves are built to deliver consistent performance in exactly these environments. Designed and manufactured in Sweden, their valves are made with corrosion-resistant materials and precision engineering, making them ideal for long-term marine flow control in critical systems.
Applications at Sea and in the Yard
Whether for chemical tankers, product tankers, offshore vessels, or engine systems, Somas valves play an essential role in maintaining efficiency and safety. Common shipbuilding applications include:
Cargo loading and unloading systems
Ballast water control
Fuel and oil handling
Engine cooling
Exhaust gas treatment (scrubber systems)
Somas’ ball segment and butterfly valves provide excellent control and low-pressure drop, supporting smooth and efficient marine flow control across these essential operations.
Proven Reliability and Low Maintenance
Thanks to their simple, robust design, Somas valves offer reduced maintenance requirements and a longer operating life. Their triple-offset butterfly valves, for example, ensure tight shut-off, while their ball segment valves are well-suited for regulating difficult media such as slurries or contaminated fluids, key to resilient marine flow control onboard.
Supporting Sustainability at Sea
Environmental compliance is now a priority across global shipping. Somas valves are often integrated into exhaust aftertreatment systems, such as SCR and EGR, helping vessels reduce NOx emissions. By supporting greener, more efficient processes, Somas contributes to a more sustainable maritime industry through advanced marine flow control technology.
Trusted Worldwide in Marine and Shipbuilding Industries
From shipbuilders to operators and engineers, marine professionals around the world rely on Somas for dependable valve performance. Their valves are backed by expert support and are available globally through a strong partner and service network, providing confidence that your marine flow control systems are always in safe hands.
Conclusion
For any shipbuilding application, Somas valves deliver the performance, durability, and compliance demanded by the maritime industry. Whether you’re constructing new vessels or upgrading ageing systems, Somas offers efficient and sustainable marine flow control solutions tailored to your needs.
