Application of Valves in The Petrochemical Industry

In the complex and high-risk production system of the petrochemical industry, valves are like the "nerve hubs" of the industrial system, playing a crucial role in ensuring production safety and efficiency. As petrochemical processes involve extreme conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, strong corrosion, flammability, and explosiveness, stringent requirements are imposed on the performance and reliability of valves.

Ball valves, with their excellent sealing performance and low flow resistance, have become the "main force" in petrochemical pipeline systems. In crude oil transportation pipelines, ball valves can open and close quickly, precisely control the flow rate, and effectively avoid the risk of medium leakage. In chemical reaction devices, special material ball valves that are resistant to high temperatures and corrosion can withstand the erosion of strong acid and alkali media, ensuring the stability of the reaction process.

Gate valves, with their characteristic of a straight-through flow path when fully open, hold an important position in large-diameter, low-resistance pipelines in the petrochemical industry. They can be seen in heavy oil transportation pipelines in refineries and the inlets and outlets of large storage tanks. Their reliable shut-off function provides a strong guarantee for the continuity of petrochemical production.
