Pluto LNG Demin

Valvelink, partnered with Petrolink, had the opportunity to quote on the “Woodside/Forster Wheeler” Pluto LNG Demin plant in KarrathaWA. This part of the project was held by Veolia Water Technology & Services. Valvelink’s ability to source a wide range of valve types from all over the world and Petrolink’s Quality/OH&S/Environmental accreditation, made it possible for us to quote VWS for the Demin plant. Once the valve scope was agreed upon it was a matter of finding suitable suppliers, as the scope was not that of the normal requirements and the quantity of valves required we had to find a company capable of not only the production of the valves but support it with the documentation required. With a total valve requirement off approx 300 ranging in size from ¾” (20mm) up to 6” (150mm) manually operated and both standard forms of actuation (Double acting & Spring return) completely supplied with specified “Westlock” Limit switch boxes & “Herion” 316SS solenoid valves, all piped up with “Hoke Gyrolock” 316SS compression fittings. All items were sourced from the factories and shipped to the valve manufacturers who agreed to mount all items to the valves for testing and approval.

Due to the time frame required for delivery it was necessary to have all items sent to the valve manufacturer for completion, testing, certification & approval, from here all valves (300 Manual & Actuated) were sea freighted & air freighted to New Zealand where the valves were to be put on to the skids which made up the Demin plant.

The valves had to meet strict “Woodside” specifications – Paint thicknesses, colours, flanging etc…

Valvelink/Petrolink handled all documentation in house, submitted as per request of the client. As a joint operation - Valvelink & Petrolink were able to offer the complete package – Technical knowledge of the valves & actuation, what was required & Petrolink to carry out the “Quality Control” aspect & documentation required for submission.

The project was delivered on time and we have been offering ongoing technical support.

Railcorp XPT

Railcorp had over the years come Valvelink to repair the existing actuators on their valves. These actuators had gone through design changes and the model that they had was no longer supported and spares were becoming expensive and hard to come by, to replace the existing actuator with the new model was expensive and the new actuator was over kill for the application.

We at Valvelink asked exactly what was required of the actuator and the parameters that it had to operate in, what its operation was – Open/close or modulating? Once these parameters were ascertained we were able to offer alternative options. We threw up 2 suitable solutions that met the pricing structure and the operating parameters. Railcorp wanted to trial one of the options to see if it could carry out the work load. And as you can see from the photos the actuator a Noah -19 they trialed past with flying colours, the Noah-19 actuator was complimented by our fantastic cast steel & Stainless steel flanged ball valves.
