It is BOMAFA's philosophy that only a comprehensive understanding of the customers' applications will ensure that BOMAFA's design will meet the operational requirements. Therefore, BOMAFA Valves is more than a valve supplier. The company is an engineering partner: the consideration of operational needs makes this partnership so valuable to the operators.

BOMAFA design - valve design to last many decades

BOMAFA valve design is based on quality and maintenance friendly design. Easy access to the valve internals, which can be exchanged as one complete unit, provide the shortest possible shutdown time. Round valve bodies is a BOMAFA brand identity to avoid material accumulations to guarantee a long lifetime.

To control the noise level and keep the maintenance cost as low as possible, BOMAFA uses the hole bush system, where the chosen numbers of pressure reducing stages keep control over the noise level. The hole bush system provides an optimum solution, when controllability from 0%-100% capacity is required.

BOMAFA design is constantly modified. BOMAFA can rely on a wide range of successful valve and desuperheater design solutions still in operation for more than three decades. Innovative design engineers use customers' specifications and the company's 80 years' long valve design experience to offer solutions to new projects and reconstructions of existing valves.
