As a dedicated manufacturer with a strong foothold in the global marine and offshore industry, Shanghai Zhibang Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd. is proud to present our specialized Marine Valve Solution engineered explicitly for the demanding environments of FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) units. Established in 2016 and backed by ISO9001 certification, our solutions are designed to ensure reliable, safe, and efficient operation of critical seawater intake and overboard discharge systems. We understand that valve failure in such applications is not an option, and our products are built to withstand corrosive seawater, high pressures, and the constant motion of offshore platforms, delivering unparalleled durability and performance that our clients across North America, Southeast Asia, Europe, and beyond have come to trust.
Our comprehensive valve portfolio for FPSO process seawater intake and overboard applications is the result of rigorous engineering and continuous improvement. We focus on providing solutions that minimize maintenance, prevent leakage, and ensure long-term operational integrity.
Core Product Features & Technical Advantages:
- Corrosion-Resistant Material Selection: We utilize premium materials such as ASTM A216 WCB cast steel, 316/316L stainless steel, and super duplex steels (e.g., UNS S32750) to combat the highly corrosive nature of seawater. Internal components like stems and seats are often coated or made from specialized alloys for extended service life.
- Robust Pressure & Temperature Handling: Our valves are designed to operate reliably across a wide range of pressures (PN10 to PN40, Class 150 to Class 300) and temperatures encountered in FPSO service, from chilled seawater to process fluids.
- Superior Sealing Technology: Advanced sealing arrangements, including resilient elastomers like EPDM or HNBR and metal-to-metal seals, ensure bubble-tight shut-off, preventing seawater ingress or hydrocarbon leakage, which is critical for environmental protection and process safety.
- Versatile Actuation Options: To meet diverse control requirements, our valves are available with manual handwheels, gear operators, as well as automated actuation using pneumatic, electric, or hydraulic systems. This allows for integration into centralized control rooms for remote operation.
- Optimized Flow Characteristics: Specific valve types are selected for their flow efficiency. For example, full-port ball valves and gate valves offer minimal pressure drop for intake lines, while check valves prevent backflow effectively in discharge systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q1: What are the most critical factors when selecting valves for FPSO seawater service?
A: The paramount factors are corrosion resistance (material selection is key), pressure class suitability for both operating and test conditions, and reliable sealing performance to prevent leaks. Our engineers can help you navigate these selections based on your specific water chemistry and system design.
Q2: Do your valves come with automated actuation systems?
A: Yes, absolutely. We offer a full range of actuation options. We can supply valves fitted with pneumatic (cylinder or rotary), electric (motorized), or hydraulic actuators. These can be configured for on/off duty or modulating control, complete with necessary controls and accessories for integration into your FPSO's control system.
Q3: Can you provide valves that comply with specific international standards like API, ANSI, or ISO?
A: Our standard product line is manufactured in compliance with common international standards such as API 6D, API 600, ANSI B16.34, and ISO standards. We clearly specify the standards met in our technical datasheets. For projects requiring specific certifications, please discuss your requirements with our sales team during the inquiry stage.
Q4: What is your lead time for a typical order of large-size marine valves?
A: Lead times vary based on valve type, size, material, and order quantity. For standard configurations, typical lead times range from 8 to 14 weeks. We recommend contacting us with your detailed list for a precise schedule. We maintain strategic inventory of some common items to expedite delivery for urgent needs.
Q5: How do you ensure the quality and performance of your valves before shipment?
A: Every valve undergoes a series of rigorous tests, including but not limited to hydrostatic shell tests, seat leakage tests (often using air or water per API 598/ISO 5208), and operational tests for actuated valves. Detailed test reports are available upon request. Our ISO9001 quality system ensures traceability and consistency throughout production.
Q6: Are your valves suitable for both seawater intake and overboard discharge applications?
A: Yes, our valve solution portfolio is designed to cover both sides of the process. For intake, we focus on valves with high flow capacity and debris-handling capabilities. For overboard discharge, we emphasize reliable shut-off and backflow prevention. The specific valve type (e.g., gate for isolation, check for backflow prevention) would be selected based on its function in your P&ID.
Q7: Do you offer support for installation, operation, and maintenance?
A: We provide comprehensive technical documentation, including installation & maintenance manuals, dimensional drawings, and material certificates. For larger projects, we can arrange for technical supervision during the installation and commissioning phase upon request. Spare parts kits are also available.
Q8: What are your main shipping ports and payment terms?
A> We primarily ship from Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Beijing ports. We offer flexible payment terms, commonly including T/T (Telegraphic Transfer) and L/C (Letter of Credit), which can be negotiated based on order value and our mutual agreement.
