Opportunities:
The production of renewable diesel is becoming more common, driving the need for custom valve engineering / design requirements, and unique specifications beyond the bounds of applicable industry standards. This presents a challenge to valve manufacturers competing for their market share due to material availability, machining, testing and NDE capacities.
Solutions:
Due to Ladish’s ability to (i) meet required specifications, (ii) design & manufacture custom engineered valves, and (iii) meet the accelerated lead times, we were awarded the valve portion of a large renewable diesel project. Over $5 million in gate, globe, check and ball valves in materials ranging from carbon to duplex and nickel alloys were furnished on time after undergoing strenuous NDE testing.
Summary Requirements:
1. Accelerated Lead Times:
- Ladish was awarded the 2021 project bid in Q1 of 2021 with delivery dates between April and November.
2. Material Requirements:
- CF8M / CD3MN / CW12MW / CF8C / WCB
- Duplex Requirements per API 938-C
- Ferrite & Charpy
- AOD Material w/ Special Chemical Composition
- Corrosion Testing
