600lbs Ceramic Lined Metal Seated Ball Valves for corrosive and abrasive slurry in mining industry

 One of our clients in Philippines contacted us for help to solve corrosion and abrasion problems for existing ball valves used in mining projects. The corrosive and abrasive mining slurry with solids is about to be disposed to the tailing's dam and the important metals are already extracted.


The slurry parameters are as follows: 

Pressure: 2000-2200kPag 
Temperature: 81 deg. C 
Density: 1200kg/m3 
% solids by weight: 41.9 
Solids density: 2800kg/m3 
Solids d50: 0.0020mm 
Shear stress: 33 Pa 
Dynamic Viscosity:μ=0.010833Pa-s 

The composition of solids is as follows:





The main specifications of existing ball valves are as follows:

Size: 3'', 4''
Pressure: Class 600
Face to Face: Long Pattern 
Body: WCB
BALL/SEAT:SS316
Standards: ASME B16.34, ASME B16.5 

The problem encountered is passing valve or worn-out observed internally as follows:




After analyzing the working conditions and problems, considering the high pressure, we supply our customized ceramic lined ball valve solution to solve the abrasion and corrosion problems for our client. The body is lined with ceramic, the ball is in material of stainless steel 316 with tungsten carbide coating, and the seat is made of solid tungsten carbide.


The ceramic material and tungsten carbide material both have excellent performance in abrasion resistance. So the ball valves can stand the high working pressure and the ball, the seat and the body inside can stand the abrasion caused by the mining slurry.

Ceramic lined metal seated ball valves with tungsten carbide coating


Normally the ceramic ball valves have ball and seat produced in ceramic material to be corrosion and abrasion resistant.


When the working pressure is high or the solid particles are with big sizes, to avoid ceramic fracture, we don't use ceramic ball and seat. The ball can be in material of stainless steel and coated with tungsten carbide coated. The seat can be produced by solid tungsten carbide coated.


When the solid particles are with extreme high hardness like steel particles, the whole ball can also in material of solid tungsten carbide coated just like the tungsten carbide ball valves we supplied to our customer in India in steel industry.

Our customized ceramic lined body metal seated ball valves will finally solve the corrosion and abrasion problems, improve process, reduce maintenance cost and shutdown loss, create values for our clients in mining industry.

The bonds between PSA(Pressure Swing Adsorption) and High Performance Butterfly Valve

图片
  High performance butterfly valves ： Generally refers to  double eccentric butterfly valve  and  triple eccentric butterfly valve ,due to their excellent working performance and high sealing ability (compared with concentric butterfly valve) are widely used in petrochemical,power plants,metallurgy,civil heating fields.Eccentric butterfly valves have the good working performacne to meeting sever and strict requirements in many different industries.Today, we are going to introduce the application of eccentric butterfly valve in air separation for making oxygen,hydrogen,CO etc. At present,the mature air separation system is PSA(Pressure Swing Adsorption),it need certain number of programmed valves (valve parts usually double or triple eccentric butterfly valve) in its pipeline system to control and adjust the medium. FEIDA  double (and tripple) eccentric butterfly valve are widely used in this kind of PSA system due to the valves' excellent features: 1-Long service life,on-off 1 mill

Hardening method of metal hard sealed ball valve balls and valve seats

  At present, the commonly used hardening processes for the surface of  metal hard sealed ball valves  mainly include the following: (1) Surface welding (or spray welding) of hard alloy on the sphere can achieve a hardness of over 40HRC. The process of surface welding of hard alloy on the sphere is complex, with low production efficiency, and large area welding can easily cause deformation of the parts. Currently, there is relatively little use of surface hardening technology on the sphere. (2) The surface of the sphere is plated with hard chromium, with a hardness of 60-65HRC and a thickness of 0.07-0.10ram. The chromium plating layer has high hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and can maintain surface brightness for a long time. The process is relatively simple and the cost is relatively low. However, the hardness of the hard chromium coating will rapidly decrease as the temperature increases due to the release of internal stress, and its working temperature cannot exce

Introduction to the Function, Principle, and Characteristics of Globe Valves

  Globe valves   are used to cut off the flow of media, and are suitable for situations that require frequent opening. The sealing parts of a globe valve are the valve disc and valve seat. In order to ensure a tight closing of the globe valve, the mating surface of the valve disc and valve seat should be ground or a gasket should be used. The sealing surface can also be embedded with corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant materials such as bronze and stainless steel.The valve disc and valve stem of the globe valve are connected in a movable manner to ensure a tight fit between the valve disc and valve stem. The lifting and lowering of the valve disc of a globe valve is generally controlled by the valve stem. The upper part of the valve stem is a handwheel, and the middle part is a threaded and packing sealing section. The function of the packing is to prevent the internal medium of the valve body from leaking along the valve stem. The function of a shut-off valve 1、 The main function o
