Valves for steel and metallurgical plants: water, gases, air
Metallurgy means huge cooling water flows, industrial gases and compressed air. A valve failure on furnace cooling can stop an entire shop.

Equipment cooling
Furnaces, moulds and rolling mills are cooled with pressurised water. Reliable gate valves and check valves, redundant lines and fast switchover matter here.
Industrial gases
Oxygen, nitrogen, argon and natural gas. Oxygen requires valves in a dedicated design, cleaned for oxygen service and made of approved materials. Ordinary gate valves must never be used on oxygen.
Compressed air and water
Compressed air and recirculating water networks use industrial gate, butterfly, globe and ball valves, which make up most of the spend.
Where TAZ fits
TAZ supplies valves for water, air and utility systems at metallurgical plants in Uzbekistan and the region.
