VALSTEAM was distinguished as PME Líder for another consecutive year.
This is a statute of business reputation created by IAPMEI as a way of recognizing the merit of Portuguese Small and Medium Enterprises that have superior performances in terms of the best rating quotations and economic and financial indicators.
The SH25S series centrifugal humidity separators allow seamless integration into the pipework due to their low-profile in-line design.
These separators are composed by an inlet plate with a propeller blade design which promotes high speed centrifugal motion and allows removal of up to 99% of water droplets and solid entrained particles from the medium. The unit has no moving parts and does not require any maintenance. It’s one of the simplest ways to improve steam quality and heat transfer efficiency on your steam system, in main lines or at the point of use.

When a steam boiler is in operation there is continuous evaporation of boiler water wich causes an undesirable increase in TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) concentration. A typical problem that results from this is water foaming, which leads to reduce boiler performance and wet steam. Furthermore, dissolved and suspended solids will carry over into the steam lines, contaminating valves, tubes, heat exchangers and steam traps, leading to corrosion, scaling and erosion. For these reasons, a certaing amount of boiler water must be discharged continuously or periodically to ensure TDS concentration is kept within the recommended parameters.
The ADCATrol VPC26 is a control valve specially designed for this purpose and features a multi-stage trim to progressively reduce the energy of the fluid. This makes it ideal for discharge of boiler blowdown at high differential pressures where flashing is a concern.
The valve is suitable for both continuous and on/off TDS control via a PA series reverse action pneumatic actuator or AV saeries fail-safe spring return actuator.
The ADCAMat PPT14 automatic pump trap is specially
recommended where stall condition may occur due to poor
steam trap condensate discharge capacity, caused by temporary
insufficient pressure drop.
The equipment combines the features of a float steam trap and a
pressure operated pump, in one single unit.
Whenever the steam trap function is incapable of draining
condensate, the pump function is activated (using external steam
pressure).
The pump replaces the necessary positive pressure
to lift the condensate to the return system, before water logging
occurs, avoiding water hammer and consequent noise, equipment
damage, corrosion, unstable temperature control, etc.
MAIN FEATURES
Compact design
No electric requirements
No NPSH issues
Operation under vacuum conditions
No motive or flash steam is lost
Low filling head for minimal installation space requirements
In February 2020 Valstean was on the cover of the Valve World’s magazine, one of the most prestigious magazines in the industrial valve sector. There are four pages full of product news and market prospect for the company and for the growth of the ADCAPure range. All the details about the current and next’s expansion of our factory is also one of the several subjects covered in the interview to the Valsteam’s CEO and founder Fernando Pereira Rodrigues Soares.
