Dexon TechnologyDexon Mechanical Solutions (DMS) has teamed up with European partner IZOMAX to bring AOGV (Add-On Gate Valve) technology to Thailand.
The project marks the first-ever use of AOGV in Southeast Asia—successfully deploying it on an offshore production platform for a leading global energy operator. )
Ahead of the job, DMS arranged for the operator’s team to visit IZOMAX’s HQ and R&D facility in Norway for hands-on experience and technical immersion.
Highlights included:
Live AOGV demonstrations simulating offshore conditions
Direct engagement with the engineering team behind the technology
Technical documentation and certification handover
Support and service agreement negotiations
The AOGV system, patented by IZOMAX, enables the safe installation and removal of a blind spade between flanges on live, pressurized systems, allowing for the isolation of equipment such as valves or vessels without shutting down the main process. )
In its Thai debut, AOGV was used to isolate a hydrocarbon pipeline on a gas production platform, facilitating valve replacement and maintenance.
The result:
Zero HSE incidents
Zero downtime
Massive cost savings by avoiding shutdown
)
The milestone not only showcases DMS’s ability to integrate cutting-edge mechanical isolation with engineering expertise but also reflects the trust of top-tier global clients and the Dexon Group’s ability to deliver safe, precise, and scalable solutions. )
With this success, Dexon Mechanical Solutions, a subsidiary of Dexon Technology, is poised to bring AOGV services to other organizations in the petroleum and petrochemical sectors seeking high-efficiency pressure isolation—without compromising production or safety.
