Issue IV: Continued from ‘First Supply of Ball Valves including TMBV and Cryogenic Valves’
It was in mid 2006 that we started working on the second supply for JERP.
The design had to be modified to meet the commercial and technical specifications of the customer. Similar to that of the first ball valve order, here again we submitted the General Assembly drawings, ITP and reference list of our previous experience in supplying valves to the various Oil refineries across the globe.
With L&T being an Integrated Valve Supplier for all Oil & Gas project requirements and a Single Point valve sourcing solution provider, in order complete the total package for JERP; we procured Cast Iron and Tin Bronze valves from other sources.
Our supply comprised of Carbon steel, Alloy Steel and SS GGC valves. The total order quantity exceeded 75000 pieces in various MOC’s like WCB, WC6, WC9, C5, C12, CF8M, CF3, CF8, CF8C, etc
We supplied valves in all the class ranges from #150 to #2500 in sizes ranging from 2 inches to 60 inches.
With JERP being one of the most prestigious orders for L&T, we customized many of our offerings to suite the requirements of Reliance. Many valves were developed specifically for this project. To mention few
- Globe Valves with Guided Disc design and in-situ seat
- Swing Check valves with Integral Hinge Disc.
- #150 valves with a gasket of Corrugated SS316 + Graphite
In fact, we manufactured a wide range of Dual Plate Check Valves of sizes ranging from 3 inch to 36 inch especially for this project to bag the complete package of DPCV’s.
We supplied GGC Valves in special MOC’s, especially in CN7M and Inconel 625. We bagged the single largest order for Alloy 20 (CN7M) Cast Steel Gate Globe Check Valve order with a quantity close to 5000 valves. For the order on CN7M, we supplied valves in sizes ranges from 2” to 16” in class ratings from #150 to #600.
The next issue will provide further insight of these products.
