Pneumatic Ceramic O-Port Ball Valves to Glencore for nickel slurry in hydrometallurgical process


The 150#RF 3'' pneumatic ceramic O-port ball valves are designed for Glencore to solve abrasion and corrosion problems in Nickel hydrometallurgical process.

The abrasive and corrosive process specifications are as follows:

1. Temperature: 140 deg C (Max. at 150°C when the evaporator shut off);
2. Concentration H2SO4: 25 to 70 %;
3. % of solid in the solution (Nickel sulfate): about 40 %;
4. The process creates a maximum pressure of 2 psi + the pressure of the liquid column which is 12 feet (specific gravity of 1.7);
5. Compressed air is  injected upstream to prevent blockage;
6. The valve can do up to 400 on/off cycles per day;
7. Actual ball valve is a 3 inches stainless steel 316 (CF8M) which needs to be replaced approximately every 3 to 4 months;
8. Piping is made of stainless steel 904L.

According to the working conditions above, we supply to Glencore ceramic O-Port ball valves have 8 inch flange to flange distance and include a normally closed pneumatic actuator. 

Normally for ceramic ball valves, ZrO2 ceramic with stronger flexural strength than Al2O3 ceramic is more suitable to be material of ball. However ZrO2 ceramic is not suitable for H2S04, so we use Al2O3 ceramic as ball material for this case. And in this project, the ceramic ball valves only need function as on/off valve, regulating function is not needed, so we use O-port ceramic ball.
The detailed materials specifications are as follows:

Body & Adapter: SS316L 
Yoke: 316L
Gland: F316L
Bolt & Nut: 316L
Ball: 99% AL2O3
Seat: 99% AL2O3
Stem & Sleeve: 904L
Operation: Spring return Pneumatic actuator

Different styles of kitchen sliding door

Kitchen door is an important role in the modern house. Because the kitchen needs a bright open space, so many people will choose aluminum glass sliding door as the main choice. 1.Simple black framed sliding door Black framed glass kitchen sliding door should be a common kind of collocation. And this kind of sliding door mainly use aluminum material more durable, it would be the first choice for most family decoration. 2.White color framed sliding door Compare to the kind of young and rigid texture of black color, the white sliding door appears more elegant and dignified simple sense. It is more suit for the gorgeous and generous decoration style. 3.Other colors sliding door Besides the sliding door of black and white color frame, there is a lot of color choice for the kitchen sliding door. You can choose the design according to actual decoration style. For example the wooden grain color sliding door also perfect match kitchen decoration.

Ceramic V-Notch Ball Valves For Abrasive and Corrosive Cocoa Powder Exported To Food Company In Spain

YFL PN10 DN80 Ceramic V-Port ball valves were exported to food company in Spain for abrasive and corrosive cocoa powder. The existing valves which our client used in have abrasion and corrosion problems. The detailed working conditions and requirements from our client are as follows: 1. medium: carbonate steam with cocoa powder, the medium is corrosive and abrasive. 2. working pressure: 2bar 3. working temperature: 150℃ 4. Operation method: pneumatic actuated 5. On/Off or Regulating: Regulating Considering there is steam in the medium, we customize our ceramic ball valves with ball in material of Alumina (Al2O3) instead of Zirconia (ZrO2), and the seat is made of Alumina (Al2O3). Normally for ceramic ball valves, Zirconia (ZrO2) is more suitable than Alumina (Al2O3) to be material of ceramic ball duo to higher flexual strength. But Zirconia(ZrO2) can't be used when there is steam in the medium. And the ceramic ball has a V-notch to achieve precise regulating performance. With t...
