Oxford Flow, a leading innovator in flow control equipment, has secured its largest order to date—valued at nearly $1 million USD—for its groundbreaking ES stemless axial flow valves. The order from bp marks a major milestone in Oxford Flow’s expansion into the U.S. market and highlights the growing demand for advanced valve technology in the oil and gas industry.
Revolutionizing Flow Control with the ES Stemless Axial Flow Valve
The ES Series is setting new industry standards in performance, reliability, and emissions control. Designed for the most demanding applications in oil and gas, petrochemical, and process industries, this cutting-edge valve enhances efficiency while promoting sustainability on a global scale.
Unlike conventional valves, the ES valve eliminates the need for a mechanical actuator, stem, or drive train, making it significantly smaller and lighter. Its operation relies on a compact, low-power electrohydraulic powerpack, making it ideal for remote applications and easy retrofitting into existing systems. Additionally, the ES valve’s optimized internal engineering ensures maximum flow rates while minimizing turbulence, which reduces erosion on sealing surfaces. The result? Long-term zero leakage performance, even in the most extreme conditions.
Driving Innovation and Expansion in the U.S. Market
Dr. Chris Kennell, VP of Sales – Americas at Oxford Flow, shared his enthusiasm about this significant order:
“We are thrilled to partner with bp for what will be our largest deployment of the ES valve in the Americas market. The increasing demand for the ES valve is driven by its minimal maintenance requirements and its proven ability to reduce emissions.”
Oxford Flow, headquartered in the United Kingdom, has responded to increasing demand in North America by establishing Oxford Flow Americas, Inc. in 2020. Based in Houston, Texas, the company operates with a dedicated full-time team, ensuring rapid product delivery and exceptional customer service. With Houston’s state-of-the-art distribution facilities, Oxford Flow is well-positioned to meet the growing needs of the North American energy sector.
A Sustainable Future with Oxford Flow’s ES Valve
Looking ahead to 2025, Oxford Flow is set for significant expansion, reinforcing its position as a leader in the U.S. market. As industries worldwide strive to reduce emissions, the ES valve provides a transformative solution to one of the most common yet often overlooked issues—suboptimal valves that contribute to environmental inefficiencies.
Dr. Kennell further emphasized:
“With the urgent need to reduce emissions across industries, including oil and gas, innovations like the ES valve offer a crucial solution. This milestone order solidifies Oxford Flow’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge, sustainable flow control solutions.”
