Valves for Pulp & Paper Industry - Port Hedland
Port Hedland is the world's single largest bulk export port by annual tonnage, shipping over 550 million wet metric tonnes of iron ore per year from BHP's Newman and Jimblebar operations, Fortescue Metals Group (FMG) Pilbara mines, and Roy Hill Holdings to steel mills in China, Japan, Korea, and India; iron ore processing and port infrastructure valve requirements include abrasion-resistant slurry valves (rubber-lined butterfly, knife gate) for ore slurry transfer circuits, high-cycle pneumatic actuated butterfly valves for ore reclaim and ship-loading control, dust suppression system butterfly and ball valves, and seawater cooling butterfly valves for all major marine facilities; BHP Iron Ore's procurement follows BHP Engineering Standards (BES) incorporating Australian standard AS 4041 (Pressure Piping) alongside API and ASME standards; FMG applies its own engineering standards with strong emphasis on ASME B16.34 for process valves and AWWA C504/C508 for slurry and water service; Dampier Salt (Rio Tinto subsidiary) requires corrosion-resistant butterfly valves and ball valves in salt brine service (high-chloride, near-saturated brine at ambient temperature) requiring duplex stainless or rubber-lined ductile iron valves; Vajra Industrial Solutions supplies Port Hedland area contractors and procurement teams with abrasion-resistant mining valve packages, AWWA C504 butterfly valves, and API-certified valves for the Pilbara iron ore and LNG support industries.
Knife gate valves, diaphragm valves, ball valves (CS/SS), and pinch valves for kraft pulping, black liquor handling, bleaching chemical circuits, and paper machine wet-end service.
Pulp & Paper Industry Valves - Available in Port Hedland
Knife Gate Valve (Pulp Stock)
PN 6 / PN 10 / PN 16Standard on/off isolation valve for pulp stock lines - blade cuts through fibres; rubber-lined for abrasion resistance
Diaphragm Valve (Chemical / Bleach Plant)
PN 10 / PN 16Zero leakage for bleaching chemicals (ClO₂, H₂O₂, NaOH) - no packing in contact with aggressive bleaching agents
Ball Valve (CS / SS, Black Liquor Service)
Class 150 / 300 / 600Isolation and on/off control on black liquor lines (strongly alkaline, high-temperature, high-solids) - trunnion design for larger sizes
Pinch Valve (White Water / Consistency Control)
PN 6 / PN 10Pulp consistency and white water flow control - no internal obstruction, self-cleaning, ideal for fibrous suspensions
