FBV INC. announced the successful delivery of large-diameter valve equipment for the North District Desalinated Water Supply project in Chile. This project, serving CODELCO, the prominent Chilean copper mining company, includes six 48-inch 300-pound ball valves, six 48-inch 900-pound ball valves, five 48-inch 900-pound gate valves, and three 48-inch 150-pound gate valves.
For this project, FBV INC. collaborated with Tsinghua University to develop a custom design for the 48-inch gate valves. By applying advanced high-performance metal engineering, they addressed the unique challenges of wear resistance and corrosion in large-diameter, high-pressure gate valves, specifically tailored for the desalination environment.
The project’s demanding conditions involve complex media and high-pressure environments critical to desalination processes. FBV INC.’s valves, with their exceptional design and reliability, will ensure safe operation and extended durability, making them integral to the project’s success.
