INDUSTRY PROFILE

Valves are ubiquitous in their market applications and implementation in hardware systems, process systems, facilities and equipment systems. The technical role of a valve is simple yet profound: directing fluids or liquids and gases by opening or restricting their flow through sections or entire lengths of pipes and other passageways. An exhaustive list of applications for valve components and products is formidable, underscoring their market value in nearly every economic sector and industry, but notable uses include oil & gas refining, pipeline transportation, power generation facilities (power plants), aerospace, water treatment and management, manufacturing and process equipment cooling, residential and commercial water heating and cooling, chemical manufacturing, plumbing, and pharmaceuticals production. Product applications include HVAC systems, automotive vehicles, hydraulics, turbomachinery, pumps, and other machinery. The oil & gas sector is a high area of demand for valves due to the specialty materials needed to protect against the various caustic and hazardous produced and handled liquids and gases. Valves can be made from a wide range of synthetic materials including plastics, fiberglass and metals. Basic valve designs include plug, piston, needle, globe, block, diaphragm, choke, check, butterfly, and ball valves. Common valve components include the outer casing (body), the accompanying bonnet, cavities leading into the valve mechanism known as the ports, the handle or actuator and attached disc, and gaskets that prevent any leaking inside the closed valve and its interior surface known as the seat. Actuators can be automated or remotely-controlled, such as on pipelines, when manual operation of the valve is not possible.

Heavy Engineering Industry is one of the largest segments of Industrial production. It occupies a whole range of industries such as Heavy Electricity Machinery. Turbines, Generators, Transformers, Switchgears, Textile Machinery etc. The Index of Industrial Production figures of 8 of the 16 major industry groups show substantial growth with the rates ranging from 6% to 28%.

Thought there were some signs of recovery in the third quarter of 2002-2003 the stimuli seem to have dissipated quickly. The problem with the cotton textile sector has also continued to perform badly in the last two years. The only positive development is the measures announced for the textile industry in the recent budget.

Trends across major sectors show that growth in the two lead sectors-capital goods and consumer non-durable goods-have decelerated but still remain at the double-digit levels. This has, however, been compensated by the strong recovery in the intermediate goods segment. A major concern is the lackluster performance of the consumer durable goods segment over the last year with production declining for the first time since the med-nineties.

Process Control Application: The term Process is used to describe the collective functions performed in and by the equipment in which one or more variables are to be controlled. Process variables are physical or chemical quantities, the variations of which affect the operation of a manufacturing process. Process Control is the application of automatic control theories and hardware to operations found in process industries.

APPLICATION AREAS
Process control is the application of automatic control theories and hardware to operations found in process industries. These industries handle three types of materials-fluids, bulk solids and sheeted and welded materials. The most important variables measured and controlled in the process industries include temperature, pressure, vacuum, flow, liquid level, bulk solid level, density, vibration, electrical parameters, specific gravity and chemical composition including pH, oxidation-reduction potential and many forms of spectrometry and spectrophotometer.

AN ORIGIN OF THE INDUSTRY

The development of control and instrumentation sector has undergone transformation in phases. Early processes were relatively simple and plant size small. Measuring instruments were mounted directly on the process lines. Monitoring and recording of measured values were performed by plant Operators.

As the plant size and process complexity increased, the number of critical parameters that needed to be measured and monitored also increased. This led to the requirement for a centralized monitoring of process variables, and the introduction of signal transmitters and

transmission techniques. The first system employed pneumatic transmitters of the forced balance type. Manual control gave way subsequently to automatic control implemented through pneumatic controllers. Later electronic controllers began to gain ground.

GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT OF THE INDUSTRY The domain of primary sensing elements comprises of measurement of flow, level, temperature, pressure, vibration, electrical parameters and analyzers. Development in flow elements is targeted towards reducing pressure loss and increasing accuracy.

The demand for the valve business is going to increase by 30-40% and pump business would increase proportionately.

Pumps & Valve Manufacturing Industry in India is growing at the rate of 10-12% per annum. 500 large, medium & small-scale manufacturers in India manufacture approximately 6,000 pumps & 20,000 valves per day in India.

All core sectors of industry namely power, oil & gas, water & infrastructure projects, metal and mining, chemicals, drugs & pharmaceuticals & food and beverages require various types of pumps & valves and each of these industries are growing at a exorbitant rate today in India.

PRESENT STATUS OF THE INDUSTRY Indian Scenario

Following industrialization India has established over the years reasonably sound technological base in many industries including process oriented industries like steel, power, cement, fertilizers, petrochemicals and refineries. In developing these needs for process control instrumentation was apparent.

BUSINESS ENVIRONEMENT OF THE INDUSTRY Indian market for Industrial Pumps and Systems has been a mature market since years.

PRUDUCTS/ SERVICE PROFILE

Valves
1. Diaphragm Valves Diaphragm Valves are mainly used in water treatment plants, fertilizer & petrochemicals industries, chemical industries, refineries, thermal power stations, and other process industries. Equally suited to on and off, or flow control applications, a diaphragm valve will handle positive pressures or high vacuum. Due to the wide range of material options it will handle almost all applications within its temperature and pressure ranges (175C max. and 16 bar max.) and as such is used in almost every industry on both corrosive and abrasive applications. All working parts are isolated from the line media which enhances its reliability. Maintenance is a simple task with the body remaining in the pipe, the valve thus being field serviceable. It has linear flow characteristics which makes it well suited to throttling or modulating duties. On/off and control automation is possible with the use of modern compact actuators and accessories.

2. Butterfly Valves

One of the most compact and light-weight valves available. Used for a wide range of applications, the choice of seat, lining and disc options has increased significantly over recent years making the valve a popular choice. A wide range of materials, sizes and pressure ratings gives reliable positive isolation and moderate flow control capability over a wide range of applications throughout the industry. The metal seated valve is well established in petrochemical and oil industries being lightweight, firesafe and suitable for actuation. Butterfly valves offer a number of advantages when used for the proper application. They may be used in a wide variety of chemical services, they are available with small dimensions allowing for use in areas where space is limited, and they allow a high coefficient of flow. Butterfly valves are quick opening valves that consist of a metal circular disc or vane with its pivot axes at right angles to the direction of flow in the pipe, which when rotated on a shaft, seals against seats in the valve body. They are normally used as throttling valves to control flow. Unlike ball valves, butterfly valves do not have any pockets in which fluids may become trapped when the valve is closed.

3. PFA Lined Valves PFA is developed as a melt processable fluoropolymer, it is a co- polymer of tetrafuoroethylene and perfluoroalkoxy monomer. It has excellent mechanical strength outstanding dielectirc properties & is unaffected by virtually all solvents & chemicals even at high temperature of 240 C to 260 C.

4. GATE VALVES The most common and traditional type of valve. The valves are large to accommodate the yoke and stem mechanism, but fully open the full bore design provides an uninterrupted flow path. Generally either used fully open or closed, for on/off isolation, and not used for modulating flow control duties. Variants include Solid and Flexible Wedge Gates, Double Disc Gates, Through Conduit Valves, Parallel Slide Valves and KnifeGate Valves.

5. Check Valves

A check valve is a mechanical device, a valve , that normally allows a fluid to flow through it in only one direction. Check valves are two-port valves, meaning they have two openings in the body, one for fluid to enter and the other for fluid to leave. There are various types of check valves used in a wide variety of applications. Although they are available in a wide range of sizes and costs, many check valves are very small, simple, and / or cheap. Check valves work automatically and most are not controlled by a person or any external control; accordingly, most do not have any valve handle or stem. The bodies (external shells) of most check valves are made of metal An important concept in check valves is the cracking pressure which is the minimum upstream pressure at which the valve will operate. Typically the check valve is designed for and can therefore be specified for a specific cracking pressure.

6. Plug Valves

The oldest design of valve comprising of a body with a tapered, or less frequently, a parallel plug. Design variants include Non-lubricated, Fluoropolymer sleeved, Lubricated and Pressure balanced designs. Principally designed for on/off isolation of fluids they have inherent quick opening flow characteristics similar to ball valves, although specially designed eccentric plug designs may be used for flow control applications. They can be automated by means of quarterturn actuators.

7. Ball Valves Ball valves come in two basic designs: Floating Ball and Trunnion Mounted, with three basic construction variants: Three piece, End Entry and Top Entry with options of either full or reduced bore designs. Principally designed as an on/off isolation valve for a very wide range of temperatures and pressures they have inherent quick opening flow characteristics. Specially designed ball valves however, may offer good flow control capabilities at High Pressure. All ball valves offer compact actuation due to their rotary quarter-turn operation. Firesafe versions are available for use in the oil and petrochemical industries.

8. Forged Steel Valves

Hundreds of thousands of BDK forged steel valves are currently in operation on many of the most testing chemical and petrochemical plants worldwide. BDKs experience over many years is the key to the success and reputation of BDK forged steel valves. The design is acknowledged for its reliability, safety, technical and construction features. The machining of the components is made with high precision machine tools operated by

experienced people with a commitment to total quality. The qualification of the product from some of the most reputable international customers is another indicator of the integrity of BDK valves. BDK offers a broad range of standard forged steel gate, globe and check valves, reduced and full bore, in threaded, socket weld and butt-weld end connections

9. Globe Valves Globe valves are designed for flow control or on/off isolation of fluids. They are manufactured in straight patterns, angle patterns, oblique patterns and needle designs with a large variety of internal seat construction variants to handle High Pressure flow control duties. A wide choice of metal body options and trims means Globe valves are widely used throughout industry. Globe Valve designs consist of O.S. & Y type, Rising Spindle and Bolted Bonnets. The valve comprises of a Solid Rotating Plug Type Disc which is Fine Lapped. Back Seat facilities provides easy replacement of Gland Packing under pressure. Extra deep Stuffing Box Ensures Fluid Tightness, Long Packing life and Low Emissions. We offer Globe Valves with special packings, suitable for thermic fluid temperature up to 425 C.

10. Knife Gate Valves BDK Knife Gate Valves are specially designed for tough applications viz. Ash landing, Cement, Paper & Pulp, Slurries etc. These valves feature a single piece cast stainless steel fully lugged body which is very robust in construction to cater to the extreme demanding applications. The gates made of stainless steel and other superior alloys are ground with super surface finish on both sides to assure positive shutoff. The machined and highly finished gland pockets ensure a leak proof gland packing and perfect stem seal. Both metal and resilient seat options are available with a shutoff capability exceeding the requirements of the standard MSS SP - 81.
