Chlor-Alkali Plants Valves — Available in Bhavnagar

PVDF-Lined Butterfly Valve

PN 10 / PN 16

Wet chlorine gas isolation — PVDF lining (or solid PVDF body) is uniquely resistant to wet Cl₂; titanium disc for highest corrosion resistance

Materials: WCB or SS316 shell; PVDF lining; titanium disc; FKM seat for Cl₂ service  ·  Standards: API 609, Chlorine Institute Pamphlet 6, ATEX Zone 1

Hastelloy C-276 Ball Valve

Class 150 / 300

Hydrochloric acid (all concentrations, up to 100°C) — only Hastelloy C-276 and titanium resist HCl above 10% concentration

Materials: Hastelloy C-276 (UNS N10276) body, ball, and stem; PTFE seats  ·  Standards: ASME B16.34, API 607 (fire-safe HCl service)

SS316L Diaphragm Valve

PN 10 / PN 16

Caustic soda (NaOH 30–50%) process and transfer — SS316L body with EPDM diaphragm; also used for sodium hypochlorite

Materials: A351 CF3M (SS316L cast) or A182 F316L forged; EPDM diaphragm  ·  Standards: ASME B16.34, DIN 3202 (diaphragm valves)

Critical Valve Requirements

Wet chlorine gas — PVDF or PTFE-lined body, titanium disc; absolutely no iron, nickel-chromium alloys (attacked by wet Cl₂); no copper; FKM or PTFE packing only
Dry chlorine gas (< 20 ppm moisture) — carbon steel is surprisingly acceptable for dry Cl₂; however most plants keep SS316 or titanium as standard
Hydrochloric acid (all concentrations) — Hastelloy C-276 or titanium; SS316 only for dilute (<5%) cold HCl; NEVER use carbon steel
Caustic soda (NaOH) — SS316L acceptable for <70% NaOH; avoid aluminium (catastrophic SCC in NaOH); EPDM diaphragm valves preferred for slurry-free NaOH
Hydrogen gas from electrolysis — ATEX Zone 1; all electrical components on actuated valves must be Ex-certified
Brine (saturated NaCl) — titanium or rubber-lined butterfly; SS316 not reliable above 60°C in concentrated chloride

Yes. Vajra Industrial Solutions supplies PVDF-Lined Butterfly Valve, Hastelloy C-276 Ball Valve, SS316L Diaphragm Valve, Titanium Ball Valve for chlor-alkali plants applications in Bhavnagar, Gujarat. Alang near Bhavnagar is the world's largest shipbreaking yard — a unique source of secondhand and new industrial valve demand. We offer same-day dispatch from Vadodara — Bhavnagar receives delivery in 1–3 business days with full documentation and third-party inspection.
What certifications are required for chlor-alkali plants valves in Bhavnagar?
For chlor-alkali plants in Bhavnagar, the applicable standards are: ASME B16.34, ISO 9001:2015, API 609 (Butterfly), EN 12756 (Valve Stuffing Boxes), ATEX / IECEx (Chlorine Zone 1), Chlorine Institute Pamphlet 6.

Contact us at +91-9979774557 or sales@vajravyuh.com with your specification and required delivery date.
Can I use SS316 valves for chlorine service in a chlor-alkali plant?
No — wet chlorine gas (Cl₂ with moisture) attacks austenitic stainless steel, including SS316. The chromium oxide passive layer that protects SS316 is destroyed by Cl₂ + HCl attack, causing rapid pitting and stress corrosion cracking. For wet chlorine, specify PVDF-lined butterfly valves (PN 10) or titanium ball valves. Dry chlorine (confirmed < 20 ppm moisture) can use carbon steel, but most plants maintain PVDF or titanium as a standard to eliminate moisture moisture monitoring from the maintenance programme.
What valve material handles both chlorine and caustic service?
Titanium Grade 2 is the rare material that resists both wet chlorine gas and dilute caustic soda — making it the preferred choice for brine and cell liquor service where both Cl₂ and NaOH are present. However, titanium is expensive and not suited for concentrated hot NaOH (>70%, above 80°C — risk of titanium stress corrosion cracking in very hot concentrated alkali). For pure caustic service, SS316L diaphragm valves are more economical.
