Chemical Processing

Africa’s chemical and petrochemical sector require high-performance industrial valves for chemical processing, petrochemical plants, refineries, fertilizer production, polymers, solvents, acids, alkalis and bulk chemical storage. African Valve provides valve solutions for isolation, flow control and process safety, selected according to pressure, temperature, chemical compatibility and operating conditions. 

Chemical & Petrochemical Valve Solutions 

African Valve supplies industrial valves for demanding process applications, including Ball Valves, Gate Valves, Globe Valves, Butterfly Valves, Plug Valves, Check Valves, Diaphragm Valves, Control Valves, Double Block & Bleed Valves and Actuated Valves. 

These valves support process piping, reactor systems, distillation columns, heat exchangers, storage tanks, loading systems, transfer lines and chemical dosing systems. Ball, gate and plug valves provide reliable isolation, while globe and control valves are used for precise flow regulation. 

Chemical Processing & Petrochemical Plants 

Valves are used in refining, petrochemical processing, fertilizer plants, polymer production, chemical manufacturing and hydrocarbon processing. Facilities across South Africa, Egypt, Nigeria, Algeria, Morocco, Ghana, Tunisia and Angola require valve solutions capable of handling corrosive chemicals, hydrocarbons, high temperatures and demanding pressure conditions. 

Acid, Alkali & Corrosive Services Chemical applications may involve sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, caustic soda, solvents, methanol, ammonia and other aggressive process media. Valve selection considers chemical concentration, temperature, pressure and compatibility. Stainless steel, duplex, nickel alloys and specialised lining materials can be selected for corrosive services. 

Materials & Technical Construction 

Actuation & Automation 

Valves can be supplied with pneumatic, electric or hydraulic actuators, incorporating solenoid valves, limit switches, position indicators, positioners, gear operators and fail-safe systems for automated isolation and process control. 

Applicable Standards 

Depending on valve type and service, applicable standards may include API 600, API 608, API 609, API 594, API 599, API 598, ASME B16.34, API 607, API 6FA and ISO 15848. Corrosive and hazardous services may also require NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 compliance. 

African Valve provides engineered valve solutions for chemical processing, petrochemical plants, refineries, fertilizer production, storage terminals and corrosive process services across Africa.
