For LNG Terminal Seawater Cooling System

Client: PT Energi Maritim Nusantara (Fictional Name), a regional LNG operator in Indonesia.
Project: Seawater Intake & Cooling Loop Valve Replacement Project.
Challenge: Balancing long-term reliability and capital expenditure in a highly corrosive environment.

THE CHALLENGE: PREMATURE FAILURE & RISING MAINTENANCE COSTS

The client's LNG receiving terminal relies on a continuous flow of seawater for its vaporization process. The existing cast iron butterfly valves in the DN600 intake lines were suffering from accelerated graphitic corrosion and severe pitting from the warm, saline water. This led to leakage and seizure, forcing unplanned maintenance shutdowns every 12-18 months. Each shutdown represented not only significant labor costs but also production risks, making a reliable, long-term solution imperative.

THE SOLUTION: A TAILORED ENGINEERING & SUPPLY APPROACH

The client’s engineering team, led by Lead Mechanical Engineer Mr. Adriansyah Bakri, sought a solution that went beyond simply replacing valves. They needed a partner who understood material science and could provide a robust, cost-effective solution. After a thorough technical evaluation, they chose our Aluminum Bronze Semi-Lug Butterfly Valves for the following reasons:

Material Science Expertise & Source Control

We recommended ASTM B148 C95800 Nickel-Aluminum Bronze, offering superior erosion and corrosion resistance in high-velocity seawater compared to standard bronze. The client's team audited our 81,426 m² facility, paying close attention to our in-house foundry where we control casting quality from the initial melt. This vertical integration, backed by our founder's 20-year casting expertise, provided them confidence in material integrity.

Application-Specific Design Features

The "Bare Stem" was specified as an Extended Stem to accommodate 100mm pipe insulation while ensuring the worm gearbox remained accessible from the service platform. The Semi-Lug Body was critical for their maintenance strategy, allowing isolation and removal of downstream pumps and strainers without having to de-pressure the entire intake line.

Transparent Quality Assurance & Flexible Documentation

Understanding the client's need for verifiable quality, we provided a comprehensive documentation package. This included our ISO 9001 and CE certifications, detailed dimensional inspection reports, and our standard Certificate of Conformance (CoC) with full material test reports (MTR) for the C95800 body/disc. At the client's specific request for this critical project, we arranged for and provided full EN 10204 3.1 Material Certificates, demonstrating our capability to meet stringent documentation requirements. This flexibility and transparency was a key decision factor.

MEASURABLE OUTCOMES: ENHANCED RELIABILITY & OPTIMIZED TCO

The valves were installed and commissioned successfully. Post-installation monitoring over a 3-year period yielded significant, quantifiable improvements:

  • 90% Reduction in Unscheduled Maintenance: Valve-related emergency shutdowns in the seawater loop were virtually eliminated.
  • Extended Maintenance Interval: The planned valve inspection cycle was confidently extended from 12 months to 36 months.
  • Optimized Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): Based on the mitigation of production risks and direct maintenance savings, the client calculated a project payback period of approximately 22 months.
  • Consistent Performance: Our innovative bidirectional soft-sealing structure has maintained bubble-tight shutoff (zero-leakage) performance, verified during each planned maintenance cycle.
We witnessed the casting process firsthand, and their willingness to provide project-specific 3.1 MTCs upon our request gave us complete confidence in the material's integrity. "

Why choose Aluminum Bronze over Duplex or 316L SS for seawater service?

While Duplex and 316L are excellent alloys, Aluminum Bronze (specifically C95800) offers a superior combination of resistance to chloride pitting, crevice corrosion, and biofouling in warm seawater. Its self-healing oxide layer prevents marine growth adhesion, significantly reducing maintenance and ensuring long-term, reliable performance where even high-grade steels can struggle.

What is the operational advantage of the semi-lug design for maintenance?

The semi-lug design is critical for dead-end service. It allows your maintenance team to remove the downstream piping (e.g., to service a pump or filter) while the valve remains securely bolted to the upstream flange, holding back full system pressure. This drastically reduces downtime and increases operational safety during maintenance cycles.

Can the extended stem length be customized for our specific needs?

Absolutely. The extended stem is a key feature, not an afterthought. You can specify the required "T-dimension" (centerline of valve to top of stem) to perfectly match your pipe insulation thickness or remote operation requirements. Our stems are robust, one-piece designs to ensure maximum torque transmission without weak points.

What is your warranty and policy on spare parts like seats?

We provide a comprehensive 24-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Furthermore, all our valves and spare parts (seats, seals) are manufactured to international standards (e.g., API, ISO). This means you are not locked into a proprietary system. After the warranty period, you can source spares easily from us or qualified third-party suppliers, ensuring the long-term serviceability of your investment.

Can your valves be certified by classification societies like DNV or ABS?

Yes. Our valves are designed and manufactured in strict accordance with international standards (e.g., API 609, ISO 5752) which form the technical basis for marine certification. As a vertically integrated factory, we can fully support and facilitate third-party witness testing and project-specific certification by any major classification society (DNV, ABS, LR, BV, etc.) to meet your exact requirements.

How do you guarantee the material integrity of your Aluminum Bronze castings?

As a vertically integrated factory, we control quality from the source. Every heat number is fully traceable to its original raw material batch. Our standard documentation includes a Certificate of Conformance (CoC) and detailed material test reports (MTR). For projects with stringent documentation requirements, a full EN 10204 3.1 Material Certificate can be furnished upon request.
