In his keynote speech at the Valve World Asia seminar, GEKO's General Manager Huang Wanzheng emphasized the growing importance of valve technology in applications involving specialty gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen. Hydrogen's high flammability and explosiveness, combined with its extremely small molecular size that easily penetrates common sealing materials, make it a challenging substance to handle. Additionally, the transportation and storage of hydrogen often involve extreme temperatures and pressures, requiring valves to offer exceptional safety and stability. These factors impose stringent performance and sealing requirements on valves.


To address these challenges, GEKO Valves and Controls has developed new composite sealing materials with outstanding corrosion resistance and sealing capabilities. Advanced machining and grinding technologies have been employed to meet these rigorous demands. Furthermore, GEKO is actively exploring the feasibility and alternatives of the latest materials available in the international market to ensure stable operation of its valves under extreme conditions.
