GET VALVE WORLD AMERICAS INFORMATION

VALVE WORLD AMERICAS

The third staging of Valve World Americas Expo & Conference, recently held in Houston, Texas was a resounding success. A total of 3,718 visitors and delegates (not including exhibitor staff) attended the event to get a broad overview of the latest technologies, components and systems in the field of
industrial flow control. Products and innovations were presented by 192 exhibitors from the United States, Asia, Europe, India and Mexico on 38,900 net square feet of exhibit space. Since its inception in 2011, the event has grown significantly with each staging, in terms of both exhibitors and attendees, and has solidified its place as the industry’s main meeting point. Further underscoring this development was the key support of the major valve manufacturers as show sponsors: Bonney Forge, Bray International, Crane ChemPharma & Energy, Emerson Process Management, Metso, MRC Global, Pentair Valves & Controls and Velan – with the support of the Valve Manufacturers Association of America (VMA), API and the Society of Piping Engineers and Designers (SPED).

This event was again a collaboration between KCI Publishing Corporation and Messe Düsseldorf North America – who have cooperated on previous Valve World Americas events and on the Valve World Expo taking place in Düsseldorf, Germany. “The response to Valve World Americas has been nothing short of exceptional. We are especially proud of the fact that this has become a real partnership between the organizers and the industry to build and foster a community. Due to the unprecedented growth and demand for exhibit space at the 2015 show, we will again expand our available exhibit space at the George R. Brown Convention Center for the 2017 show,” stated Tom Mitchell, President of Messe Düsseldorf North America.

VALVE WORLD AMERICAS 2015

The Valve World Americas Conference 2015 has followed the successful format of the previous event, by having the conference consist of plenary sessions and panel workshops developed by our Steering Committee of industry experts. The workshops covered a variety of timely topics and issues such as valve testing for emissions, performance and validation, valve technologies selection for cryogenic applications, variables in the design of a valve, material selection and casting specifications, among others. The plenary sessions included themes such as the outlook on the Houston economy, the role of effective valve selection and operation for improved safety performance, the benefits of standardizing specifications in valve selection and environmental enforcement. For the 2017 event, the conference organization will employ a Call for Papers for the first time – more information on how to become involved with the conference will be made available in the near future.

Teadit recently participated in the Valve World Americas Expo & Conference on July 15th-16th held in Houston, TX. The biennial show and expo gave the more than 2,100 attendees an overview of the latest technologies, components and systems in the field of industrial flow control as well as bringing manufacturers and distributors together with valve users. Daniel Angulo, Teadit North America Applications Engineer, said, “Valve World focuses on the most lucrative valve markets in North, South and Central America. We were able to witness the latest trends, newest technology developments and news from the flow-control industries; all focusing on topics over oil and gas, refining power generation, the chemical process industries, emission control, actuation and control valves.” This show was not only a great opportunity for Teadit to network with existing and potential customers within the industry, but a learning experience as well. The over 200 exhibitors, ranging from the United States, Canada, Mexico, Asia, Europe and India, brought over 1,200 staff members working in their booths and/or attending the workshops and panel sessions, including members of Teadit, on topics such as fugitive emissions, valve selection and cryogenic service considerations.
