What Valcon International S.r.o does

Valcon International s.r.o is a privately held Czech engineering company founded in 2001 in Prague that specializes in industrial process control, automation, and hydrogen generation systems. Its primary business is delivering custom engineering services and integrated equipment to power generation, hydro, chemical, petrochemical, and water treatment operators across Central and Western Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and North America.

The technical core spans instrumentation and control system design, DCS/PLC programming (across GE Speedtronic, Emerson Ovation/DeltaV, Allen Bradley, Siemens SPPA, ABB, Honeywell, Triconex and others), advanced controls such as neural-network-based load shedding and rotor-stress predictive models, TUV FSE-certified functional safety analysis (SIL systems per IEC 61508/61511), computational fluid dynamics simulations, plant simulators, and control-system retrofit/virtualization for thermal plants up to 1.25 GW. Valcon also designs and supplies modular AEM hydrogen electrolysers (2.4 kW to 24 kW units, scalable to 210 Nm3/h), hydrogen gas boosters, fuel cells, and Battery Energy Storage System integration, working as an Enapter Certified Partner and Intelligent Energy partner. Revenue is generated through a mix of professional engineering services (consulting, design, commissioning, performance calculations) and hardware supply (electrolyser systems, components and spares for ABB/Allen-Bradley/Honeywell/Triconex/Yokogawa platforms), priced project-by-project with no public rate card.
