Dresser control valves for Qafco

Dresser Masoneilan®, has been chosen by Saipem SpA, a Milan, Italy-based engineering and project management company, to supply control valves for the Qatar Fertilizer Co. (Qafco). Located south of Doha, Qatar, the Qafco industrial complex is quickly growing into the world’s largest ammonia and urea production site. The project involves one new Qafco urea plant, capable of producing 3850tpd of granulated urea, in addition to two ammonia plants with a combined capacity of 4600tpd. With deliveries scheduled for July through the end of 2009, Dresser Masoneilan will supply more than 400 control valves including the 21000 Series top-guided globe valve. This valve is designed for a range of applications and can be customized with a variety of trim, actuation and instrumentation solutions such as Lo-dB noise attenuation, anti-cavitation and tight shutoff. It can also be equipped with environmental packing. The company will also supply the 41005 Series case-guided globe valve capable of handling demanding process conditions. It provides key advantages including high flow and pressure drop capabilities as well as reduced actuator size and thrust requirements. Additionally, the 35002 Series Camflex® rotary eccentric plug valve will be among the valves supplied for the project. This valve is an optimized control system that delivers versatility and high performance suitable for many different applications while offering standardization for simpler operations and maintenance.
