Belgian natural gas operator FLUXYS LNG and the EPC FELGUERA IHI have trusted again in AMPO POYAM VALVES for the design and manufacture of 1255 butterfly, ball, gate, globe and check valves. These highly engineered valves will be installed in the fifth LNG storage tank of the Belgian plant ZEEBRUGGE LNG, which will be one of the largest in the world with a capacity of 180,000 m3.
AMPO POYAM VALVES has been awarded a new order for 57 cryogenic butterfly valves, as well as 1198 ball, gate, globe and check valves.
Ball and butterfly valves are both quarter turn valves. They are mainly used in plants for on/off operations. AMPO has traditionally offered ball valves for this purpose. A new butterfly design is created to cover low-mid pressure (to Class 900 lbs) and large size valve applications. This design solves the main disadvantages of traditional butterfly valves. As a result, AMPO POYAM VALVES currently offers a reliable triple eccentric butterfly valve to the market for cryogenic service.
In addition, AMPO POYAM will also provide after-sales services in the LNG terminal, supporting the construction and commissioning of the new tank with AMPO SERVICE field engineers.
