The Spring has sprung, in the meteorological sense - not in the actuator sense! We have completed our factory move in Italy and production is now in full swing with increased staffing levels. We are also actively looking for new premises in Northampton and the surrounding area to bring under one roof the two factories we currently use.
Since the last newsletter we have had some significant contract wins ranging in applications from an FPSO to Egyptian power stations.
We welcome back Chris O’Connor to the fold. Chris left us for family reasons last year, but I am pleased to report he is now in a position to re-join us to continue his career in Sales. With the new GDPR legislation coming into effect next month, I encourage you to respond to our request to continue to receive this newsletter. Your response will only take a second and will ensure that you are kept up-to-date with all the latest Company developments. Thank you for your continued support and I will be in touch again in July.

 Cairo West Power Station Project Win
Comprising of 28 hydraulic spring-return fail-close linear and quarter-turn actuators powered and controlled by a total of 8 hydraulic power units, the systems will allow operation of the power plant's boiler independently of the turbine during start-up, commissioning, shutdown and load change activities. The ability to operate the boiler independently of the turbine provides numerous benefits including reduced start-up and reloading times, increased equipment life and plant availability.

 A New Focus
With the move to the new Italian manufacturing facility completed on schedule in February, Paladon Systems is delighted to announce the streamlining of some of their key business activities. Chairman, Giovanni Scovenna, “With immediate effect our UK facility will now focus on providing highly engineered and bespoke valve automation systems such as electro-hydraulic positioning systems, turbine bypass systems, Autonomous Shutdown Valves, HIPPS and hydraulic power units. Our new Italian facility will focus on pneumatic, hydraulic, direct-gas, gas-over-oil and subsea valve automation systems. The split in focus for the two facilities is expected to reduce quotation, production engineering and manufacturing time, as well as enabling our Italian facility to efficiently manage extremely large orders for all the product types under their responsibility.”

Four Rainbow FPSO Refurbishment
Paladon Systems has been awarded an order for the supply of two pressure protection systems to protect the production riser piping on the FPSO’s turret from an over-pressure event. The order consists of 2 pneumatic spring-return fail-close actuators fitted to 12” Class 1500 ball valves, each with a control system to allow for ESD and partial valve stroke testing. The ESD function will be initiated via electronic pressure transmitters connected to a logic solver employing 2oo3 voting logic. The actuators will also be fitted with closed loop breathing systems to help achieve the project specified 20 year design life. Find out more about pressure protection systems. |
