Surface MOV ball and globe valves for the Zuluf Tie-In Platform (ZTP) 5 upgrade

CHALLENGE:

To deliver highly engineered surface valves with enhanced corrosion and wear resistance for a critical tie-in platform upgrade, under a tight installation schedule during plant shutdown, while meeting Aramco’s demanding technical specifications and operational requirements.

SOLUTION:

AMPO POYAM VALVES has designed, manufactured and delivered MOV ball and globe valves — up to 16” and 1500 lbs — with Inconel 625 weld overlays for enhanced durability in harsh conditions. All cladding operations were performed in-house at AMPO’s Spanish facilities using advanced welding robots and automated cladding cells, ensuring the highest levels of quality and performance. The valves will play a crucial role in fluid diversion and control at the Zuluf platform binders and will be installed during a plant shutdown, for which the material supply and readiness will be key. AMPO’s deep expertise in upstream surface applications and its proven track record in similar projects were key factors in gaining the trust of both Lamprell and Aramco for this high-impact upgrade.
