Petroleum / Oil and Gas
Petrochem / Oil and Gas has always been our forte, offshore platforms, valves requiring minimal space / weight, high integrity suitable for the environment, onshore – downhole lift valves dealing with constant erosion, Shale Oil extraction, high temperature and pressure valving. Crude Oil pipelines, Gas pipelines and LNG distribution each having their own special requirements on Valving and Actuation. You will find our products in the traditional Refineries from the wharf in every process, Power / Steam generation, Cryogenics, Cracking, Distillation, Acid handling, Gas Processing and sulfur recovery, storage and distribution. Similar with Biofuel refining along with the water treatment facilities where valving has to withstand the internal corrosion process issues. Chemical Plants, such as Fertilizer, Chlorine and Polymer using special process valves some of which require their own Industry governed specifications. The valve types and materials and classes is near endless in these sectors however we manage to supply the majority from stock.
Power generation
Power Generation from your small package boilers through to Conventional Coal Fired Power Stations, Gas turbines, Co generation Plants and Solar, each of which has its special valve requirements, from handling and storage of the base fuel source to the processes involving high temperatures and pressures. Technology is constantly pushing the limits for special alloy valving and also corrosion requirements in Solar sites.
Steam Valve and Steam Trap Insulation Jackets are now an additional item we have partnered with due to customer demand. These Jackets offer far better thermal insulation capability than standard rock wool materials.
Steam Traps Pressure Reducing Valves Safety Valves & Ancillaries
A complete range of steam trapping is available: Float Traps, Free Float Traps, Thermostatic Traps, and Bimetallic Traps. Boiler level controls and TDS monitoring, flow metering, separators, condensate pumps, vacuum breakers, air vents, sight glasses, reflex level gauges, blowdown valves /systems, control valves, bellows sealed valves, parallel slide valves, check valves, safety valves and strainers all built to last in steam applications.
Waterworks
Waterworks from the Dam floodgates through to distribution and Water treatment right up to the suburban property boundary our valving and metering encompasses every step. Whilst not serving the arduous services in the other industries each valve type has its own material and construction compliances to ensure water quality remains at its best. Desalination Plants sourcing water either from sub-surface or sea water is a different story they require more specialist valving to cope with the temperatures and corrosion and we have an array of these valves already in service. Wastewater, valves from the collection lines through the pump station controls, to the treatment plant itself predominantly are automated. The materials of construction can slightly vary from the potable water process. Instrumentation odor control / dosing processes valves through to the larger screening and primary process treating are all usually from stock,
Mining
Mining, due its scope covers other industries such as power generation and waterworks valves are encompassed within this sector. Smelting / Refining requires some very special valving in exotic materials to handle the temperatures and the process media. Concentrating, Separation and leaching processes all have their set requirements but when we think of mining valves we think Slurry valves and this niche also spans a variety of our valving from lined to ceramics in various styles some of which are quite unique. Our lime dosing series is also in this category.
Pulp and paper
Pulp and Paper is entwined with other industry types such as Water, Power Generation and Chemical Plants. Pulping bleaching chemical recovery require various valves types such as bellows sealed valves and segmented ball valves in materials sometimes exotic materials to ensure corrosion resistance and give a good lifespan with minimum maintenance. The paper machines also require valves to handle the higher pressures and temperatures. VCS have a complete range of steam trapping valves and instrumentation be-fitting this sector also.
Food processing
Food Processing again incorporates other industry sectors such as water works and power generation along with some chemical processing. Our clients here are Canneries, Dairy processors, Abattoirs, Breweries, Sugar Milling and Confectionary Manufacturers. Each division has its own requirements some being all stainless steel Hygienic valving with various end connections which are only in that sector. Food grade valves are to have no cavities internally or in their connections and most valves are actuated.
The range of valving and associated equipment such as steam trapping, instrumentation, metering and expansion joints is vast and apart from the large and exotic materials we endeavor to supply it all from Australian stock, We can indent equipment in from our global suppliers most of which carry working stocks hence reducing lead times is part of our service.
Marine
The Marine industry valves are predominately BRONZE valves both flanged and screwed in pressure classes ANSI 150 and ANSI 300. JIS DIN is also available. This range is ASTM B62 BRONZE and ASTM B148 NI-Bronze also referred to as AL-Bronze. For Steel and Stainless refer to the petroleum industry range.
Bronze Valves
Ball Valves from 1/2″ DN15 right through to 24″ (DN600). Gate valves 1/2″ DN15 to 24″ (DN600).
Globe valves from 1/2″ DN15 to 16″ (DN400). Check valves 1/2″ DN15 to 24″ (DN600).
Relief Valves 1/2″ DN15 to 8″ (DN200). Strainers 1/2 DN15 to 6″ (DN150).
Butterfly Valves 11/2″ DN40 to 24″ (DN600) Double offset, Triple offset, Metal or soft seat, Wafer and lugged bodies.
DK-Lok instrumentation fittings and valves in standard stainless are also available in specialty allows for marine applications.
