In a reverse osmosis desalination plant, every component is in a relentless battle against chloride-induced corrosion. For AquaSoluciones Ibéricas, a premier Spanish designer of modular RO skids, the long-term integrity of the materials they choose is the difference between a successful project and a critical failure.
Engineering Purity from the Sea
AquaSoluciones Ibéricas builds high-efficiency desalination systems destined for coastal communities and industrial sites worldwide. "Our systems must operate for decades in a hyper-corrosive brine environment. We are not just assembling parts; we are engineering a long-term solution," says Javier Morales, their Chief Mechanical Engineer. "The bare-stem butterfly valves we integrate are a foundational component. Their material integrity is non-negotiable."
For their new generation of RO skids, Javier's team needed a supplier of CF8M (316 SS) lug valves who could provide not just a component, but verifiable proof of superior metallurgical and mechanical engineering.
The Hidden Failures of "Standard" Stainless Steel
The team had been let down before. "We saw valves failing from crevice corrosion in the lug-bolt threads and under the valve seat after only a few years," Javier recalls. "The issue was sensitization of the steel—improper heat treatment was making it vulnerable to intergranular attack from chlorides. On the mechanical side, inconsistent stem dimensions meant our actuators either fit poorly or required on-site rework, a costly delay for an OEM."
We understood that for a high-stakes application like desalination, "standard" is never good enough. Our ISO 9001-certified quality system governs a process designed for exactly these challenges. Our solution was our **CF8M (316 Stainless Steel) Bare-Stem Lug Butterfly Valve, engineered for maximum corrosion resistance and flawless OEM integration.**
Our process begins with a casting philosophy rooted in material science. We employ a high-density casting method for our CF8M bodies. This ensures a homogenous, non-porous microstructure, completely free of the micro-voids and inclusions that can become initiation sites for pitting corrosion in high-chloride environments. This solid, flawless foundation is the first and most critical step in ensuring long-term material integrity.
To combat the threat of intergranular corrosion, every CF8M casting undergoes a precise **solution annealing heat treatment**. The valve body is heated to **1060°C (1940°F)** to dissolve any chromium carbides that may have formed in the grain boundaries, and then subjected to a **rapid water quench**. **Why is this process so vital?** The rapid cooling "freezes" the uniform austenitic structure in place, preventing carbide precipitation. This immunizes the steel against sensitization, ensuring it maintains its full corrosion resistance, especially in the challenging brine concentrates of an RO system.
We machine for perfect integration. The lug threads are not just tapped; they are meticulously checked. Each threaded hole is verified with **calibrated go/no-go gauges**, guaranteeing that bolts will engage smoothly and torque down correctly, preventing installation headaches. The actuator interface—the bare stem head—is CNC-machined to **ISO 5211 standards with a ±0.1mm tolerance**. This guarantees a precise, no-slop fit for AquaSoluciones' standardized actuators, ensuring accurate control and zero mechanical play.
A reliable seal depends on more than just the disc and seat. It depends on how the operator's torque is transferred. Our design utilizes a **double-D stem profile** that fits into a correspondingly broached slot in the disc. Both components are machined as a matched set. This provides a large, robust contact area, eliminating the torsional stress and potential failure points of a simple pinned connection. This ensures the disc closes evenly and concentrically every single time, delivering the promised bi-directional, zero-leakage performance for the life of the valve.
For innovators like AquaSoluciones Ibéricas, the ability to deliver clean water to the world depends on the absolute reliability of their foundational components. They required a partner whose manufacturing discipline, documented through our ISO 9001 quality system, could be trusted implicitly. As Javier Morales states, their confidence comes from our control over the details that truly matter.
By focusing on the fundamental science of materials and the precision of our machining, we provide the engineered certainty that allows our OEM partners to build complex, life-sustaining systems with confidence. We are proud that our engineering is the unseen foundation for a more sustainable world.
Our commitment to quality is verified by internationally recognized standards. We provide the corresponding documentation to prove it.
