Under the contract, Metso will supply standard and severe service globe valves and butterfly valves which range in size from 1/2" to 20" from the Neles and Jamesbury product portfolios.
Metso will also provide Neles ND9000 intelligent valve controllers, which have the capability for advanced performance follow-up.
Scheduled to be commissioned in 2018, Turkmengas’s petrochemical plant project will primarily produce high-density polyethylene and polypropylene by using natural gas.
A consortium of Hyundai Engineering, Hyundai Engineering & Construction (HEC), LG International (LGI) and Toyo Engineering, is the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) contractor for the project.
The consortium also conducted front-end engineering and design (FEED) studies.
Metso Globe Valves director Markus Hauhia said: "We have delivered valve solutions to more than 100 projects led by Korean EPC companies.
"Metso’s valves are widely used in petrochemical processes; today, about 40% of world’s polyolefin is flowing through our valves."
The company is expected to deliver the valves in August.
