Severn Glocon UK Valves Ltd is a world leader in the design and manufacture of severe service Control, Choke and Butterfly valves. For clients in Scotland and operating in the North Sea, Severn Aberdeen based in Portlethen, serves as the regional hub for both OEM valves sales and service support whilst also offering comprehensive third-party valve support.
OEM Control, Choke and Butterfly valve Support
As an integral part of Severn Glocon UK Valves, Severn Aberdeen specialises in sales and service support for Severn’s Control, Choke and Butterfly valves. These valves are specifically designed for severe service conditions, ensuring reliability, precision performance and longevity. The engineering expertise that Severn Glocon UK and the Aberdeen facility has allows the team to tackle the most challenging environments, providing clients with performance and reliability they can trust.
Third-Party Support
Beyond OEM support capabilities, Severn Aberdeen extends its capabilities to third-party manufacturers. Whether you’re dealing with Control, Isolation, Pressure safety (PSV’s) or Pressure Relief Valves (PRVs), the Severn Aberdeen team provides expert sales and service. This ensures our clients has a one-stop facility for their complete valve management, from procurement to servicing, across a wide range of valve types.
Engineering Expertise at Your Fingertips
Severn Aberdeen’s unique advantage comes from being part of an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). This allows the team to offer unparalleled engineering support to operators and EPCs. Clients can witness their valves and actuators being stripped, tested, and reported onsite while consulting directing with Severn’s expert engineering team for immediate problem diagnosis and resolution. This hands-on approach ensures transparency and rapid decision-making, keeping projects on track for clients.
Complete Testing, Overhaul, and Offshore Support
Severn Aberdeen offers a full suite of testing and overhaul services at the Aberdeen facility. In addition, there is a team of certified valve technicians and offshore containers for offshore TARs (Turnarounds) and onshore shutdowns. This ensures smooth, seamless operations with minimal downtime, reducing the impact on your product schedules and maximising efficiency.

Severn’s engineering heritage and technical expertise have led to the OCT TOV Butterfly Valve being future-proof for changes in the process conditions to provide increased versatility for the end user.
From the outset, Severn made flexibility a key driving force in the design of the Oblique Cone Technology (OCT) Triple Offset (TOV) Butterfly Valve. Due to Severns extensive diverse engineering heritage and excellence, our expert team of engineers understand that processes and application product demands change over time, whether it is the process conditions or the overall requirements of the valve for the end user. Due to this understanding, the Oblique Cone Technology Triple Offset Butterfly Valve has been designed to incorporate multiple seal options, all fully interchangeable with each other, providing maximum application diversity and usability to ensure safe operations and minimum downtime.
The Laminate seal is the “traditional” Triple Offset Valve seal and consists of multiple metal and graphite layers providing isolation sealing.
The OCT HS seal is a hybrid polymer metallic seal, this seal benefits from a primary metal seal and secondary polymer seal, this provides a reliable and repeatable bubble tight seal time after time. This can also be paired with PTFE packings when graphite being in contact with the line media is a concern. The polymer seal is fully compliant with EN ISO 80079-36 (ATEX).
The OCT SW Valve takes the hybrid sealing to the next level with its versatile high performance. Severn utilises the OCT-HS seal and has designed a valve that ensure there is no graphite in contact with the line media to remove the risk of costly galvanic effects such as internal corrosion leading to valve failure. Whilst doing so the OCT-SW also maintains firesafe certification.
Should the sealing requirement not become as critical, and process conditions become more arduous, the Laminate and Hybrid seals can be changed for the OCT-SS solid seal. As the name suggests it is a solid metallic seal, that can be made from hard-wearing alloys to add longevity to the sealing life of the valve in arduous conditions and can offer a control valve seat leakage.
Based on Severns comprehensive history of severe service control, our team of engineering experts work closely with operators and end uses to identify the correct seal and material selection to provide the maximum reliability and productivity further ensuring minimum downtime.
All the OCT seals are interchangeable and can be upgraded without the need for main valve components being replaced, further emphasising the OCT TOV Butterfly Valves versatility. The fully in field serviceable valve can be upgraded on-site without the need for specialist tools or knowledge, this further ensures that costly unplanned downtime and site waste is kept to a minimum, along with potential loss in production for the end user. All the seal options can be changed on site within a small space of time to ensure site maintenance costs are reduced by upgrading the existing valve rather than discarding and replacing with a commodity product each time.
Each OCT valve is specially designed to be versatile and ensure it has multiple purposes for multiple conditions whilst still delivering maximum performance. With the introduction of the interchangeable seal, these can be easily swapped out to match the end users’ requirements, should they change.
