As part of the building of a new polycarbonate production plant planned for the summer of 2007 – the first in the Russian Federation – Kazanorgsintez chose Metso Automation to be its valve supplier. Toyo Engineering Corporation of Japan is carrying out the engineering work.
The scope of Metso Automation's supply covers both metal-seated and soft-seated on/off valves: 448 ball valves, two thirds of which are Jamesbury ball valves series 9000. The significant advantage of the Jamesbury Xtreme Seat - much higher quality than PTFE - was the main reason why the customer chose Jamesbury valves. Neles valves - mostly D and X series valves up to 18" - complemented the offering.
Comments from Arthur Sarbazyan, chief instrument engineer of the Polycarbonate Plant, Kazanorgsintez: "Cooperation started in the years 2004-2005, when Metso Automation supplied 96 stainless steel, trunnion-mounted, metal-seated Neles X and M series valves for the product discharge area and more than 40 Jamesbury 9000 series soft-seated ball valves, ranging in size from 1/2"" to 10", for HDPE (polyethylene production) to Kazanorgsintez. We were looked after very well following close liaison between our company and the Metso Automation specialists in their St. Petersburg office. Successful work on HDPE modernisation, the competence of the Metso Automation specialists and their high level of technical ability determined our choice in favour of Metso Automation as the sole supplier of all on/off valves."

Alexey Sukmanov, national sales manager for the Metso Automation Flow Control business line (EHC) in Russia, who handled all the negotiations, explains: "The process conditions required complicated technical decisions and the choice of different valve types such as D series, T2 series and over 60 valves with Jamesbury semi-heating jackets and Neles full-steam jackets."
"The choice of our company as the valve supplier for all on/off applications significantly widens and strengthens our position not only in the petrochemical market but also in the Russian market as a whole."
A leader in polyethylene production in Russia, ‘Kazanorgsintez’, a joint stock company and one of the largest chemical companies in the Russian Federation, has a production capacity of over 1 million tons of chemical products per year. Located in Kazan in the Tatarstan region, on a 420-ha site, Kazanorgsintez produces more than half of the whole polyethylene production of the country. Over the 2006/2007 period, the company plans to increase HDPE capacity from 200 000 tpa to 500 000 tpa and ethylene capacity from 334 000 tpa to 500 000 tpa. The company exports 25% of its production.
