Founded in 1990 in France, PETROVAL introduced and became the world leader in terms of dense loading technologies and services by launching to the refinery market the first generation of DENSICAT®, the famous dense loading machine. This technology was remarkably advanced and superior compared to other technologies available on the market and quickly became a recognized success. It helped fund PETROVAL's rapid growth not just into new services and product lines but also opened up new markets around the world. In the years following the DENSICAT® introduction, PETROVAL has made its mark in several new activities such as tube inserts in 1993, infrared thermography in 2006 and unloading & loading technical assistance.
