Chemical and Synthetic Fuels Valve Solutions

Helping chemical and synthetic fuel plants improve uptime, protect critical equipment, and optimize process performance with proven valve and control solutions.

Chemical and synthetic fuel plants operate under some of the harshest process conditions found in industry. High temperatures, aggressive chemicals, erosive slurries, and fluctuating pressures place extreme demands on valves and control equipment.

At plants like Sasol’s Secunda and Sasolburg facilities, achieving production targets depends on valves that deliver absolute reliability—providing tight shut-off, precise flow control, and critical pump protection across continuous and batch processes. Engineers and production managers rely on solutions that maximize uptime, reduce maintenance costs, and support safe, environmentally responsible operations.

At Valve & Automation, we supply valve and control solutions specifically selected to address the operational challenges faced in chemical and synthetic fuel plants. Our technologies are designed to reduce downtime, extend equipment life, and improve overall process efficiency—helping plants run safer, longer, and more profitably.

Zwick Tri-Con Triple Offset Valve

The Zwick Tri-Con is a precision-engineered triple offset valve delivering zero-leakage isolation in critical chemical and synthetic fuels applications. Its frictionless, cone-in-cone seating system ensures long-term sealing integrity under extreme pressure and temperature cycling.

Ideal for aggressive chemical services, steam isolation, and gas handling, the Zwick Tri-Con minimizes actuator loads, reduces maintenance, and extends valve life—supporting safer, more reliable plant operation.

Key Applications:

• Process steam and gas isolation
• High-temperature and high-pressure chemical services
• Emergency shut-down

Key Benefits:

• Zero-leakage, even under extreme conditions for maximum safety
• Longer seat life with frictionless seating
• Lower installation and maintenance costs due to lighter weight and compact design

Cashco Ranger QCT Rotary Globe Control Valve

The Cashco Ranger QCT is a high-performance rotary globe control valve engineered for rapid, precise response in challenging control applications. Its innovative quick-change trim design allows for 5-minute trim changes without removing the actuator, significantly reducing downtime during maintenance.

Suited for steam, slurry, chemical blending, and high-pressure drop services, the Ranger QCT provides tight, repeatable control to optimize process stability and throughput.

Key Applications:

• Steam and gas control
• Slurry and erosive chemical fluid control
• High-pressure drop chemical blending

Key Benefits:

• High control accuracy with minimal hysteresis
• Quick-change trim for fast maintenance and reduced downtime
• Long service life in abrasive and corrosive conditions

Schroeder SSV Automatic Recirculation Valve

The Schroeder SSV protects centrifugal pumps from damage caused by low or no-flow conditions by automatically ensuring minimum flow rates without external controls. Its compact design integrates a full-featured non-return valve, bypass flow control, and seat tightness into one rugged unit.

Essential for critical pump services across chemical and synthetic fuel plants, the SSV improves pump reliability, extends mean time between failures (MTBF), and reduces emergency shutdown risks.

Key Applications:

• Pump protection in chemical services
• Boiler feedwater pump protection
• Critical process pump safeguarding

Key Benefits:

• Protects pumps from minimum flow damage without external instrumentation
• Reduces unplanned shutdowns
• Compact, maintenance-free design
