A renowned chemical corporation, this client is a pioneer in the petrochemical sector, boasting an impressive global footprint. Based in Shandong, this company became the first in the province to successfully restructure and go public. Its business spans five core areas: polyurethanes, petrochemicals, specialty chemicals, emerging materials, and future industries, positioning it as a leader in the oil and petrochemical industry.

At their Ningbo facility, DN50 valves are used within the purification tower, tasked with controlling process water and transformed gases. These valves operate under highly corrosive conditions—boiler water containing H₂S, methane, ammonia nitrogen—and face pressures of 600LB and temperatures of 40°C. The previous metal valves, installed to manage these conditions, frequently deteriorated due to corrosion and abrasion, eventually developing internal leaks that disrupted operations.

The original dual-phase steel valves, introduced in May 2015, began showing various degrees of wear and corrosion by February of the following year. With an average lifespan of just 9-10 months, these valves couldn't support a full production cycle, increasing the risk of unexpected shutdowns and adding significant operational strain.

Our representative made an initial approach to the customer despite having no prior contact or collaboration. Repeated attempts to connect were initially met with resistance, as the customer was unfamiliar with ceramic valves. However, through persistence and a steadfast commitment to service, our representative eventually secured an opportunity to present our KOWOV ceramic valves. We developed a tailored solution to meet the plant's needs, and after extensive discussions, KOWOV valves were permitted for trial use, despite our absence from the approved vendor list.

In June 2016, two KOWOV ceramic valves were installed for trial. During two scheduled maintenance inspections over the following two years, the valves remained intact without signs of damage. Impressed by the performance, the client gradually ordered an additional four valves of the same type. In 2022, after six years of service, the first trial valve was replaced, marking a significant improvement over previous valve lifespans. This success led to KOWOV being directly added to the customer’s supplier list, and further ceramic valves were ordered to replace the original dual-phase steel valves.

As of August 2024, this purification tower system has operated with a total of eight KOWOV ceramic valves over an eight-year period. Compared to the former 9-10 month lifecycle of dual-phase steel valves, KOWOV provides a cost-efficiency ratio of at least 1:6. This substantial improvement not only minimizes valve and labor costs but also significantly reduces the risk of unplanned outages.
