AMPO SERVICE has supplied 15 highly engineered valves for La Rabida Energy Park in Andalusia, Spain, where CEPSA has started to produce advanced biofuels (2G) with used cooking oils at its refinery. The project revalues the plant that was designed to remove sulfur from fossil fuels into a new installation capable of producing sustainable diesel (hydrobiodiesel), from vegetable oil, vegetable residues, or fats of animal origin not intended for human consumption. This has been an important milestone towards a more sustainable energy model as well as to promote the circular economy, which has been developed in record time and thanks to an innovative process managed by CEPSA. These sustainable fuels can reduce emissions by up to 90% over their entire life cycle (compared to conventional fuels).
In total 15 Pressure seal design gate valves in Inconel 625 and WC6 were successfully delivered in just 16-18 weeks for CEPSA’s planned shutdown. AMPO POYAM VALVES was able to produce these highly engineered and special valves with short-term deliveries because the foundry is fully in line with the manufacturing processes and because it also has a strong supplier network close to the manufacturing plant. Moreover, AMPO POYAM VALVES is considered the leading manufacturers of high pressure service valves and the pressure rating for those pressure seal design valves was up to 1500#.
