Valves for Refinery & Petrochemical ProcessNew Orleans

The greater New Orleans metropolitan area (including the River Region from Baton Rouge to the Gulf) sits at the heart of America's petrochemical corridor — the 85-mile stretch of Chemical Alley along the Mississippi River between Baton Rouge and New Orleans includes Shell Norco (Motiva/Shell chemical complex and refinery), Dupont LaPlace, Dow Hahnville, Occidental Chemicals, and dozens of other chemical plants requiring ASME B16.34 Class 300–1500 ball valves, gate valves, butterfly valves, NACE MR0103 sour-service valves, and PTFE-lined corrosion-resistant valves; Venture Global LNG's Calcasieu Pass (10 MTPA, Phase 1 operational) and Plaquemines LNG (20 MTPA, under construction at Pointe-à-la-Hache, 25 miles south of New Orleans) — both using mid-scale liquefaction modular technology — are the newest LNG export projects in the Gulf, requiring cryogenic A352 LCC valves, API 6D ESD valves, and safety relief valves; CITGO's Chalmette Refinery (168,000 bpd) and the adjacent Chalmette Chemicals require NACE MR0103 hydroprocessing valves; Vajra Industrial Solutions supplies New Orleans and River Region EPC contractors, turnaround crews, and procurement managers with API 6D, ASME B16.34, and NACE-compliant valve packages.

Full range of refinery and petrochemical process valves — ASME B16.34, API 6D, NACE sour service, high-temperature alloy steel — for IOCL, BPCL, HPCL, Reliance, and EPC projects.
