Summary
The Korean SME has produced high-performance metal seated ball valve. With its innovative surface treatment and coating technology, the ball valve has improved hardness, strong chemical resistance, anti-corrosion and anti-abrasion, and low torque. The SME is looking for partners interested in promoting its technology and products to foreign countries.
Description
Spin-off from Korean representative application-oriented research institute, KITECH (Korea Institute of Industrial Technology), the Korean SME has manufactured high-performance valves specialized in the on/offshore oil & gas and petrochemical sector as well as shipbuilding industry since 2014.
The company’s main technologies are,
1)Surface treatment technology
- Forming chromium carbide (C-Cr) and infiltrate this chemical into metals within a high temperature vacuum device
- Providing excellent abrasion and chemical resistance
- Mainly used for slurry pump impellers, chute liners, pipes, and metal seated ball valve
2) Low temperature plasma process technology
- Forming nano nitriding and carburized layers with atomic nitrogen and carbon through low voltage high density plasma generation process
- Providing improved hardness and smoothness of the metal
- Mainly used for steam drain control valves, valve steam discs, temperature control valve internals, etc.
The company has applied above technologies on the balls and seats of metal seated valved included the precise machining technology (tolerance 0.005mm).
The company’s innovative technologies are optimal for high abrasive and corrosive application, covering a wide-range of industrial sectors including marine, oil and gas, power plants, refining, and petrochemical industries. It can also manufacture customized valves to meet customers’ specific requirements.
The Korean company is seeking to expand their market through global agents to represent the company under the commercial agency agreement and manufacturing agreement.
