See how a leading biotech firm eliminated bio-burden risks in their WFI loop by switching to Ynto's forged sanitary diaphragm valves.

A case study of a brewery in the Asia-Pacific region that improved its brewing process using electric actuators, sanitary diaphragm valves, and pneumatic valves for automation and quality control.

In any industrial facility – from manufacturing plants to oil & gas refineries – valves play a critical role in controlling fluids and ensuring safe operations. However, like all mechanical equipment, valves are subject to wear and tear. A failed valve can lead to unplanned downtime, safety hazards, or costly production losses. That’s why a proactive maintenance program is essential. This article provides a detailed overview of industrial valve maintenance best practices aimed at keeping your valves (whether electric, pneumatic, manual, etc.) in top condition. We cover routine inspections, lubrication techniques, troubleshooting tips, and the use of predictive maintenance to address issues before they escalate.

The global push for clean energy has put hydrogen in the spotlight as a promising fuel and energy storage medium. From fuel cell vehicles to power plants, hydrogen applications are expanding rapidly. However, handling hydrogen – especially at high pressures (often 350–700 bar in storage and fueling systems) – presents a unique set of challenges. One critical component in any hydrogen system is the valve. Valves must withstand extreme pressures, prevent leaks of the tiny hydrogen molecules, and operate safely in a highly flammable environment. In this article, we explore the specific challenges engineers face when designing valves for high-pressure hydrogen service and the innovative solutions that have emerged to address these issues.
