About the Company
MagDrive Technologies Inc. is a clean-tech company that eliminates fugitive emissions from industrial valves. MagDrive’s Zero-E magnetic actuation technology has been validated in demanding applications—from NASA cryogenic helium systems to harsh oil & gas, chemical, and petrochemical services—delivering true “no detectable emissions” while also protecting valve hardware with precisely tuned magnetic torque limits.
About the Solution
MagDrive’s solution is a stemless, magnetically actuated valve design that completely eliminates leak paths around a valve stem or packing. Instead of a mechanical stem penetrating the pressure boundary, MagDrive couples powerful magnets (and, in some versions, electromagnets) and integrated gear reduction to open and close the valve.
