Blackhall Engineering

Blackhall specialise in bespoke, high-performance valves that have often been designed to operate in a variety of challenging environments. Their diverter valves are based on a unique anti-seize design that was originally developed by the company over 40 years ago and has now been evolved to operate in the oil and gas sector. At around 3 tonnes each, the valves are much lighter than existing designs that are traditionally used on platforms and the company sees considerable potential for future growth. It is also in discussion with Armoloy about further advanced applications.
