CCI Receives Million-Dollar Order to Supply Severe
Rancho Santa Margarita, CA –
A USD $1-million order for a severe service and conventional
valve package has been awarded to CCI by UHDE GmbH. The
order, which includes anti-surge, gas to flare, and HP
steam valves, will be utilized by Qatar Fertilizer Company
for its Qafco 4 ammonia plant expansion.
The anti-surge valves range in size up to 6-in x 24-in
(150-mm x 600-mm), with design pressures up to 3335 psi
(230 bar) and temperatures up to 500 F (260 C). The flare
valve ranges in sizes up to 14 inches (350 mm), with design
pressures up to 3335 psi (230 bar) and temperatures up
to 536 F (280 C). Other valves include gas to flare, ammonia
letdown, flash gas, steam to silencer, and boiler feedwater.
Many of these valves, which incorporate CCI's DRAG®
technology design, will eliminate the problems of cavitation,
noise, erosion, and vibration by controlling fluid kinetic
energy. This is made possible through the advanced design
of the DRAG® disk stack that controls fluid velocities
by forcing the fluid through a series of right-angle turns.
These turns will be scientifically calculated to achieve
low fluid velocities consistent with future ammonia plants'
needs.
CCI is the world's leading manufacturer of severe service
control valves and hydraulic and pneumatic actuators for
coal, oil, gas, and nuclear power plants; the oil and
gas-producing and hydrocarbon industries; and pulp and
paper plants worldwide. With headquarters in Rancho Santa
Margarita, California, and offices worldwide, CCI also
operates major design and manufacturing facilities in
Winterthur, Switzerland; Saffle, Sweden; Vienna, Austria;

CCI Receives Million-Dollar Order to Supply Globe
Valves for Ecuador Pipeline
Rancho Santa Margarita, CA – CCI received a million-dollar
order from the Techint Argentina Headquarters for the
supply of globe valves to be utilized at their OCP S.A.
pipeline in Ecuador.
The valves range in size from 8 inches (200 mm) to 16
inches (406 mm), with design pressures up to 1870 psig
(130 barg) and temperatures that range from 180 F (82
C) to 200 F (93 C).
When installed, these valves will be located in the remote
inland fields of Lago-Agrio in Ecuador through the Ecuadorian
Andes mountains with drop heights of up to 900 feet (3000
meters) to the Marine Terminal on the Pacific ocean at
Esmeraldas harbor. Severe conditions (36 C) contributed
to the company choosing CCI’s DRAG and advanced
globe valve technologies, which have proven capable of
reliably handling high pressure drops where required with
low noise and vibration, a high degree of controllability,
and long service life.
