In July 2024, a large-scale thermal power plant in Saudi Arabia launched a critical pipeline upgrade project to optimize the safety and stability of the power plant's pipeline operations and ensure a continuous and efficient power supply. Yuming Valve Group, leveraging its superior product quality, comprehensive reputation guarantee system, and extensive experience in supplying valves to power plants, successfully secured the project. The company delivered all products and related services to a high standard, and all valves have been operating stably for over 18 months, achieving zero leaks and successfully fulfilling the pipeline upgrade goals. The project scope was clearly defined: the supply range included 174 units of ASME standard forged steel valves, safety valves, butterfly valves, and check valves, ranging in size from DN15 to DN600. The project cycle was efficient and compact, taking only 45 days from order confirmation to customer receipt, precisely matching the power plant's upgrade schedule requirements.
I. Customer Requirements
1. Product Requirements: Procurement of 174 units of ANSI forged steel valves, safety valves, butterfly valves, and check valves, ranging in size from DN15 to DN600, to meet the upgrade and renovation needs of critical pipelines in power plants. Valves must conform to American Standard (ANSI) and meet the high-temperature, high-pressure, and high-medium scouring operating conditions of thermal power plants, ensuring tight sealing, high-temperature and high-pressure resistance, corrosion resistance, and leak-free operation.
2. Schedule and Service Requirements: The project has a tight schedule, requiring the entire process from order confirmation to delivery to be completed within 45 days to ensure the smooth progress and timely completion of the power plant pipeline upgrade and renovation. Supporting services are required, including product selection optimization and installation guidance, to ensure precise compatibility between valves and the existing power plant pipelines, guaranteeing rapid commissioning of the upgraded pipelines.
II. Solutions
1. Product Solution: Leveraging the mature R&D and manufacturing system of Yuming Valve Group, we supply 174 units of four major series of products—ANSI forged steel valves, safety valves, butterfly valves, and check valves—tailored to the operating conditions of Saudi thermal power plants and ANSI requirements. Specifications range from DN15 to DN600. All products are designed and manufactured strictly according to ANSI standards. The forged steel valves use high-quality forged steel, the safety valves are precisely matched to the pressure control requirements of the power plant, and the butterfly and check valves have optimized sealing structures to ensure high temperature and pressure resistance, erosion resistance, and tight sealing. Each valve undergoes rigorous pressure and sealing tests to ensure product quality from the source. These valves are also adapted to the long-term operating requirements of Saudi Arabia's high-temperature environment, preventing performance degradation due to high temperatures.
2. Delivery Schedule Guarantee Solution: We optimize the production process, prioritize the allocation of semi-finished product inventory, and formulate a 45-day efficient delivery plan. We clearly define the time nodes for each stage and implement closed-loop management of "production-inspection-packaging-logistics" to ensure seamless connection between each stage and eliminate delivery delays. We coordinate with international logistics in advance, plan the optimal sea freight route, and allow time for customs clearance preparation to ensure on-time delivery. III. Delivery and Service
1. Product Delivery: Strictly adhering to the 45-day delivery plan, production progress was efficiently accelerated. All 174 valves (DN15~DN600, American standard forged steel valves, safety valves, butterfly valves, and check valves) were completed and tested on time. A professional international logistics team was selected to track the shipment status, ensuring the goods were smoothly transported from the Yuming Valve Group production base to the Saudi power plant site, completing delivery on time without damage or delays, accurately fulfilling the project schedule commitment.
2. Installation Guidance: Considering the characteristics of the power plant's critical pipeline upgrade and renovation, remote guidance was provided to on-site workers for standardized installation, avoiding installation hazards, and ensuring accurate valve installation and flexible opening and closing. Technical Q&A was provided simultaneously to ensure efficient installation work and facilitate the timely completion of the power plant's pipeline upgrade and renovation.
3. After-Sales Support: After project delivery, regular customer follow-ups were conducted to track the valve operating status. Professional maintenance and upkeep recommendations were provided based on the high-temperature conditions and operating characteristics of the Saudi power plant. Currently, all valves have been operating stably for over 18 months, achieving safe and leak-free operation.
IV. Results and Feedback
1. Project Results: All 174 valves were delivered on time and cleared customs smoothly. After on-site installation and commissioning, all met the standards. The efficient delivery within 45 days fulfilled the commitment. Currently, the valves have been operating stably for over 18 months, achieving safe and leak-free operation.
2. Customer Feedback: The customer highly recognized Yuming Valve Group's product quality, efficient delivery capabilities, and comprehensive service system. They clearly stated that the valves have strong adaptability, tight sealing, and stable operation, fully meeting the core needs of the power plant's critical pipeline upgrade and renovation. They also highly praised the efficient delivery, professional guidance, and attentive after-sales support.
