Gas Liquefaction and Petrochemicals
This industry provides the knowledge and mechanisms for the extraction of chemicals from fossil fuels such as gasoline, kerosene, propane, methane and butane. In petrochemicals, fertilizers, pesticides, asphalt, synthetic fibers, plastics, gloves, etc. are produced.
Primary petrochemicals process natural gas and petroleum derivatives, while secondary petrochemicals process products that become a basic component in the consumer society within which we live. Both petrochemicals involve physical and chemical changes in hydrocarbons. They mainly use API-600, API-623, API-594, API-602 valves; A feature is that body and interior materials used range from stainless steels, super stainless steels, alloys with high nickel content (Inconel, hastelloy, monel, etc.) and even titanium and zirconium, among others.
The gas liquefaction industry consists of the change of state that occurs when a substance changes from a gaseous state to a liquid by increasing the pressure (compression isotherm) and decreasing the temperature (adiabatic expansion), reaching a high overpressure. The aim is to reduce the volume of gases for storage or transportation purposes. They mainly use API-603 and ASME B16.34 valves; A feature is that body and interior materials used range from stainless steels, super stainless steels, alloys with high nickel content (Inconel, hastelloy, monel, etc.) and even titanium and zirconium, among others.
