On August 19, 2024, in Shanghai, Hanwei Valves Co., Ltd. in Pudong successfully delivered another RVI-850 type 24-way rotary valve to an expansion project of a new materials company in Jiangsu. This delivery is the second unit of this type ordered by the company; the transfer valve of the same specification delivered by Hanwei Valves has been operating smoothly to date. “The “24-way rotary valve” is a core product fully designed and manufactured by Hanwei Valves, boasting 100% independent intellectual property rights. This successful and rapid delivery once again demonstrates Hanwei Valves’ capability in the design and manufacturing of high-end core valves for complete sets of equipment and petrochemical plants. It also reaffirms and strengthens Hanwei Valves’ pivotal position in the industry of rotary valves used in simulated moving bed continuous adsorption separation systems. Technological breakthroughs and localization – the \"24-way rotary valve\" is Hanwei Valves’ core product; it is a high-tech system that integrates mechanical, hydraulic, electronic, and instrumentation-based automation controls with chemical processing technologies. Hanwei Valves has been focusing on this product since the 1970s. After years of dedicated research and development, it succeeded in developing it independently in the 1990s and applied it to p-xylene (PX) plants and linear alkylbenzene (LAB) plants, thereby breaking through the long-standing technical blockade imposed by the United States. This is of great significance for increasing the proportion of domestically produced components in energy-related equipment and key valves used in petrochemical plants. After years of development, the products have been applied in numerous major chemical projects both domestically and internationally. “The “24-way rotary valve” and the related technologies developed by Hanwei Valves have been granted multiple invention patents and utility model patents by the **Patent Office. With the localization of **key equipment and processes, as well as continuous innovation in chemical engineering technologies, Hanwei Valves maintains close cooperation with various domestic research institutes, universities, and design agencies. To meet the new requirements arising from these new processes, Hanwei Valves’ \"24-way rotary valves\" have undergone numerous technological innovations and upgrades, resulting in an increasingly wide range of application scenarios for these products. Product features: The \"24-way rotary valve\" was developed 30 years ago, and through years of use it has been continuously improved and optimized. Its excellent performance and advanced design give it the following notable features: – Integration: It integrates multiple systems such as mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, and hydraulic systems, enabling highly automated control. - Compatibility: Suitable for the major simulated moving bed continuous adsorption separation processes in use worldwide. It can meet various process medium systems. - Automation: Advanced computer-based process control is employed to ensure high efficiency and reliability in operations. - Upgradable: By upgrading the production process system, multiple valves can be used in series to significantly increase the process capacity. At the same time, new processes with promising prospects can also be achieved by optimizing pipeline design to increase the number of material connections. Industry Impact The successful delivery of the “24-way rotary valve” has had a profound impact on the entire valve industry. Previously, the 24 types of rotary valves were mainly produced by the American company Artesan, and were sold exclusively by UOP (United Oil Products). The procurement process was lengthy and the prices were high; in addition, trade sanctions, supply chain disruptions, and intellectual property issues added further uncertainties. Hanwei Valves’ “24-way rotary valve” products offer a clear price advantage, and the costs associated with maintenance and spare parts are lower, which can help **save a significant amount of foreign currency. China is the world’s most dynamic economy. In order to capture more and higher-value markets, chemical companies invest heavily in new products, new processes, and new technologies; at the same time, they face the risk of penalties related to intellectual property rights. In the simulated moving bed continuous adsorption separation industry, the core product is the rotary valve. Hanwei Valves’ “24-way rotary valve” not only addresses the technical challenges that pose obstacles to development, but also enhances awareness of the need to protect intellectual property rights, thereby reducing the risks associated with corporate investments. The Hanwei Valve “24-way rotary valve,” which possesses 100% independent intellectual property rights, is fully capable of meeting the needs of chemical enterprises for locally sourced core rotary valves of this type. Looking to the future, the \"24-way rotary valve\" has not only improved the technical capabilities of domestic valve manufacturers but also provided valuable experience for other companies in the country, encouraging more enterprises to engage in the independent research and development of high-end equipment. Hanwei Valves continues to strengthen exchanges and cooperation with partners both at home and abroad, enhancing China’s influence in high-end manufacturing on the world stage, and working together to promote Chinese-style modernization as well as the high-quality development of the Chinese economy.
