Boiler & Steam Systems

Main steam lines, boiler feedwater, and superheater drains. Gate valves, globe valves, and triple offset butterfly valves engineered for high pressure and extreme temperature.

Cooling Water Circuits

Resilient seated butterfly valves and ball valves for condensers, heat exchangers, and cooling towers – economical and reliable operation.

Emission Control & Auxiliaries

Flue gas butterfly valves, fuel supply lines, and compressed air systems – built for corrosive gases and thermal cycling.

Critical Valve Applications in Power Plants

• Boiler Feedwater Systems: Globe and check valves for precise regulation and backflow prevention.

• Steam Distribution Networks: Gate valves, globe valves for main steam, turbine extraction, and drains.

• Cooling Water Circuits: Butterfly and ball valves for condensers, heat exchangers, and cooling towers.

• Fuel Supply Lines: Ball valves and gate valves for oil/gas combustion control.

• Emission Control Systems: Flue gas butterfly valves handling corrosive and hot exhaust.

• Auxiliary & Service Systems: Knife gate valves, check valves for ash handling, water treatment, and compressed air.

Material Selection for Extreme Conditions

• High‑Temperature Resistance: Specialized alloys capable of withstanding temperatures exceeding 1000°F (538°C) in supercritical steam applications.

• Pressure Integrity: Materials and designs tested to withstand pressure extremes from vacuum to over 5000 psi.

• Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steels, duplex alloys, and specialized coatings for flue gas condensates and chemical treatment.

• Thermal Cycling Capability: Designs that accommodate repeated thermal expansion without compromising sealing.

Selection Guidelines for Power Generation Valves

Choosing the correct valve requires careful consideration of multiple factors:

• Service Conditions: Temperature, pressure, cycle frequency.

• Media Characteristics: Corrosiveness, abrasiveness, phase (liquid, gas, two‑phase).

• Performance Requirements: Leakage class, flow characteristics, actuation speed.

• Safety Considerations: Fail‑safe, fire‑safe design, seismic qualifications.

• Lifecycle Costs: Initial investment, maintenance requirements, expected service life.
