Critical Valve Requirements

H₂S service - NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 mandatory for all wetted metallic components; HRC ≤ 22 Rockwell hardness limit on body, trim, and fasteners

Silica scaling - full-bore valves only; no throttle positions; pipeline injection of scale inhibitor upstream of brine valves

Two-phase flow (steam + liquid brine) - metal-to-metal seat or reinforced PTFE; no soft-seat-only designs in wellhead service

IBR certification for steam turbine supply headers in India - Form III-C material and Form III-E hydraulic test certificates mandatory

Chloride stress corrosion - Duplex 2205 or SS316L (not SS304); super duplex 2507 for high-chloride (>5,000 ppm Cl⁻) fields

Geothermal flash steam often contains non-condensable gases (NCG: H₂S, CO₂, NH₃) - valve materials must resist corrosion in this mixture

Express dispatch available for urgent site requirements. Contact us at +91-9979774557 or sales@vajravyuh.com with your specification and required delivery date.

What material is recommended for geothermal brine with high H₂S?

For geothermal brine containing H₂S above 0.0003 MPa partial pressure (the NACE MR0175 threshold), specify Duplex 2205 (ASTM A890 Grade 1B) with hardness confirmed ≤ HRC 22 as per NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156. Duplex 2205 provides both corrosion resistance (PREN ≥ 35) and the required hardness limit. For very high H₂S fields (> 1,000 ppm) or combined high chloride + H₂S, upgrade to Super Duplex 2507 (PREN ≥ 40). Carbon steel with SS316 trim is acceptable only for H₂S below the NACE threshold.

How does silica scaling affect valve selection for geothermal brine?

Silica (SiO₂) dissolved in geothermal brine precipitates when the brine cools below the silica saturation temperature (typically 80–120°C for high-silica fields). This scale deposits on valve seats, stems, and body ports, causing seizure and leakage. Mitigation: (1) use full-bore valves - no narrow ports where scale can bridge; (2) use ball valves in the full-open position only - do not use ball valves for throttling in scaling brine (scale deposits in the partially open cavity); (3) inject scale inhibitor upstream. Knife gate valves for slurry-heavy brine cut through scale deposits better than wedge gate.
