Empowering Engineers With Greater Design Flexibility and Integrated Steam System Performance

Advanced Fuel Safety Shut-Off Valve Solutions at the 2026 ABMA BOILER Expo was presented

Emerson: Emerson showcased advanced fuel gas and fuel oil safety shut-off valve solutions designed to give boiler and burner OEMs greater design flexibility, installation freedom, and reduced total cost of ownership at the 2026 ABMA BOILER Expo. 

Engineered to perform across a wide range of operating conditions, Emerson’s latest safety valve configurations support fuel train simplification, high-flow performance in low-pressure environments, and compatibility with alternative fuels, helping engineers future-proof boiler systems without added complexity. 

At ABMA 2026, Emerson also highlighted how its broader automation, measurement, and final control portfolio worked together to help boiler OEMs and operators improve efficiency, reliability, and environmental performance across the entire steam lifecycle — from combustion and fuel management to water quality and blowdown optimization to system monitoring and safety protection. By bringing multiple Emerson technologies together, customers were able to address key industry challenges such as rising energy costs, emissions compliance requirements, workforce skill gaps, and the need to minimize unplanned downtime. 

PRODUCT & SOLUTION HIGHLIGHTS

Fuel Gas Safety Shut-Off Valve Solutions

High-heat output double safety shut-off valve with integrated pressure regulator Electronic pressure setting interface (Series 158/9) for fast, precise adjustments High flow factor enables fuel train downsizing and helps avoid shutdowns in low-pressure areas (e.g., NYC) 

Fuel Oil Safety Shut-Off Valve Solutions

Proof of Closure & visual indication for enhanced operational safety 

Modular solenoid valve configurations for a wide range of fuel oil applications Biodiesel-certified designs supporting alternative fuel strategies

DESIGNED FOR FLEXIBILITY & TOUGH CONDITIONS

Key Series: 158/9, 148/9, 214/5 

Lowest temperature rating on the market — no external electric heater required Alternative fuel compatibility (biodiesel & H₂S) 

Suitable for indoor or outdoor installation with optional Type 4 / 4X watertight enclosures Broad size range from pilot lines to high heat-output main lines

REDUCED TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP

Broader pressure range can eliminate one stage of pressure regulation 

Potential use as overpressure protection, removing the need for a separate device Stronger actuation enables smaller valve sizing (Series 158/9) 

Combined solenoid and motorized technology reduces system footprint and overall system cost

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
