China Valve wins bid for CGN High-end gate valve

On November 19, China General Nuclear Power Engineering Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as China General Nuclear Power) formally issued the notification of successful bid. Huaxia Valve won the bid for the high-end gate valve of LOT45C conventional island of Unit 5-6 of the Yanhe River project. The target amount is about 10 million yuan. This is the first truly important nuclear power valve order that Huaxia Valve has obtained since it restarted nuclear power valve work in 2006. It is the only successful bidder among the 12 domestic and foreign valve companies participating in the competition, which is of great significance.

National renewed nuclear power brings new opportunities for development
Nuclear power is recognized worldwide as a clean energy source. However, after the 2011 Great Japan Earthquake triggered the Fukushima nuclear leak accident, the global nuclear power industry was once severely tumbled and its safety was tortured. China also suspended the approval of nuclear power projects, resulting in a deceleration in nuclear power development in 2011 and 2012. Thereafter, on October 24, 2012, the State Council passed the "Nuclear Power Safety Plan (2011-2020)" and "Nuclear Power Medium and Long-Term Development Plan (2011-2020)", clearly stating that it is necessary to restore the normal construction of nuclear power since 2013. The nuclear power industry has returned to the fast-growing track.

In particular, with the gradual recovery of the overseas nuclear power industry, the call for the resumption of domestic nuclear power projects is increasing. On the one hand, energy demand continues to grow, and structural adjustments in energy consumption are imperative; on the other hand, hazy weather is pressing harder and harder, and controlling carbon dioxide emissions has also entered a tough battle. Against such a backdrop, the country will make scientific and efficient use of nuclear energy a national strategy for solving energy shortages, and accelerate the speed of approval of nuclear power projects that are launched across the country. With the rapid development of the nuclear power industry, the demand for nuclear power valves will continue to expand. At the same time, with the continuous increase in the proportion of nuclear power in the energy sector, nuclear power valves will become another breakthrough in the development of the valve industry.

According to statistics, at present, the valves used in China's nuclear power plants have almost all of the valves used in other nuclear islands and conventional islands except the Qinshan Phase I and Phase II valves. The latest development plan for nuclear power shows that by 2020, China’s nuclear power plants will have 58 million kilowatts of operational capacity and 30 million kilowatts under construction. According to this calculation, 40 million kilowatts of new installed capacity will be required between the years of 2015 and 2020, and an average of 6 units will be required to start each year. It is expected that the annual investment in nuclear power construction will reach 70 billion yuan in the next 10 years.

The status quo of nuclear power in China and the development plan of nuclear power allow Huaxia Valve to see a broad market prospect and good development opportunities. Especially in the current situation that the thermal power industry is declining and new projects are being reduced, Huaxia Valves dominated by thermal power valves must survive and develop, and new development directions and profit growth points must be found. For this reason, the company established the development strategy of “mainly based on power station valves, with nuclear power and petrochemicals as two wings” many years ago, taking nuclear power as the focus of the company’s future development and hopes to become bigger and stronger.
Twelve domestic and foreign companies compete for the first domestic alternative import orders
The China Guangdong Nuclear Power Hongyanhe Nuclear Power Station is currently the only nuclear power plant in the Northeast, and a total of six units are planned and constructed. Units 1 and 2 in the first phase of the project have been connected to the grid for power generation. Unit 3 has achieved its first grid-connected power generation on March 23 this year and will soon be put into commercial transportation. Unit 4 is undergoing commissioning and is scheduled to be put into operation within the year. The 5th and 6th units of the second phase project are stable and mature on the technical route, and the safety indicators are in line with the three generations of nuclear power standards. At the same time, the second phase of the project has already obtained small roads for carrying out preparatory work in 2010 and was later suspended due to the impact of the nuclear accident in Fukushima, Japan. At the beginning of March this year, Units 5 and 6 of Hongyanhe Nuclear Power Station were officially approved by the State Council. After the completion of all 6 units, the installed capacity reached 6.7 million kilowatts, making it one of the largest nuclear power bases in China.

It is understood that the Hongyanhe nuclear power station has already been put into use, and the high-end gate valves of No. 1 to No. 4 units LOT45C conventional islands under construction or in commissioning have been imported from Canada Welland, Sanxin Korea, and British Weill, which are expensive. However, some of these products are not without flaws. To this end, China Guangdong Nuclear Power Group conducted field visits and assessments on the R&D capabilities, manufacturing capabilities, and similar product operating performance of well-known valve companies, and determined that domestic excellent valve companies have the capability to provide nuclear power valves for the project. To this end, China Guangdong Nuclear Power Corporation (Hong Kong) initiated the international tender for the first time for the high-end gate valve project of LOT45C conventional island in Unit 5-6 of the Hongyanhe Project. A total of five well-known foreign valve companies and seven domestic valve companies, including Huaxia Valve, obtained the bid.

Huaxia Valve finally obtained the high recognition and won the bid from the evaluation team of China Guangdong Nuclear Power Project with its excellent design scheme, good tendering quality and competitive price. It will be divided into batches of 5 to 5 for the Hongyanhe project in stages from early 2017 to the end of the year. The unit provides 42 high-parameter, large-caliber electric gate valves. These products are all nuclear power valves.

It is reported that in addition to the five foreign valve manufacturers, the domestic valve companies participating in this competition have considerable strength: the nuclear valve in the leading nuclear power valve in the country, in recent years, the sudden emergence and largest scale of Suzhou Wei valve, thermal power valve industry Strong power valve, Kaifeng high pressure valve and so on.

Three advantages become the winning weapon for Huaxia Valve and masters
What can Huaxia Valve compete with these well-known companies and win? The responsible person of Huaxia Valve summarized the three major competitive advantages of Huaxia Valve:

——The performance of thermal power valves and domestically produced valves lays a competitive advantage
As a leading company in China's power plant valve industry, for many years, Huaxia Valve has taken the road of independent innovation and has been committed to the development of valve new products, especially high-end valve products, with strong technical strength and product development capabilities. Especially in the design, manufacture and inspection of critical valves for supercritical units, it has extensive experience and numerous operational achievements. In the localization work of the Type II and Type III high-end valves of the National Super Power Bureau's supercritical (supercritical) thermal power unit, China Huaxia Valve has undertaken and completed four categories of 12 prototypes of Class II valves and five Class III high-end valves, which have not only filled Domestic blank, its technical performance indicators have reached the leading domestic and international level and domestic advanced level.

Subsequently, the localized Type I and Type II valves of Huaxia Valve’s supercritical valves were used by companies such as Jurong Power Plant and Hechuan Shuanghua Power Plant, becoming the most successful domestically-manufactured imported import companies, and the number of targets exceeded the others. The sum of the winning companies. The operation of 633 sets of domestically-made new products passed the acceptance of the National Energy Administration and was highly recognized by users.

In particular, Chongqing Hechuan Shuangyu Power Plant highly evaluated the localized new products such as the electric high-entry three-way valve, water tank water level control valve, and soot-reducing valve decompression valve provided by Huaxia Valve. Safe and reliable, the technical indicators have reached the advanced level of imported similar valve products, and can be used in place of imported valves."

This result indicates that there is no difference in the technical performance of the new products made by Huaxia Valves and the first-class imported products. Huaxia Valve's outstanding R&D and innovation capabilities have become an important guarantee for winning customers' trust.

- Nuclear power product manufacturing started earlier and ushered in development in recent years
Huaxia valve nuclear power product manufacturing started earlier. As early as in the first phase of the Ling Ao project in 1996, Huaxia Valve completed the Dongfang Boiler nuclear power process assessment and product heat treatment process, which contributed to the development of Dongfang Boiler's nuclear power market; in the Lingao project of the second phase after 10 years, Huaxia The valve has obtained the qualification of the Dongfang Boiler Co., Ltd. as the supplier of the collaborative cooperation in the supply of nuclear grade products for the Dongfang Boiler. The supplier's qualification has continued to this day. Since then, the Huaxia valve has also been used as the sampling probe for the Dongfeng Boiler Co., Ltd. for high and low pressure vessels. A nuclear quality forgings quality assurance system was established and the National Nuclear Safety Administration accepted the nuclear grade forging qualification declaration. Afterwards, due to the impact of the Fukushima accident in Japan, the nuclear power market adjusted and gave up; in 2011, Huaxia Valve expanded its manufacturing capacity and was the Dongfang Boiler Cooperative Nuclear Power Conventional Island project for Ningde, Fangchenggang, Hainan Changjiang, Fuqing, Yangjiang, Hongyanhe, etc. The project provided nuclear forgings for auxiliary machinery vessels.

Since 2012, Huaxia Valve Nuclear Power Manufacturing has ushered in the development period. It has successfully won the bid for the vacuum destruction valve of the CVI system in the conventional island of CGN Taishan Nuclear Power Station and represents the highest level of the third-generation nuclear power technology in the world. The PV48 vacuum breaker valve project of Menjian and Lufeng became the first valve manufacturer in Sichuan Province to enter the field of nuclear power valve manufacturing, marking the development, manufacturing, quality assurance and service capabilities of Huaxia Valve. Business approval. Although these products involved a small number of products, and the amount is small, but the Huaxia valve's R & D design and manufacturing capabilities, training the team, for the subsequent batch of nuclear power valve manufacturing has gained valuable experience.

——Technical solution quality control system fully meets customer needs
As early as 2007, Huaxia Valve passed the strict source assessment of qualified suppliers of China Guangdong Nuclear Power. In recent years, in many cooperations with China Guangdong Nuclear Power, the company's technical level, personnel structure, management structure, and quality assurance system have all met China Guangdong Nuclear. Requirements for qualified suppliers.

It was learned that the high-end gate valve project of LOT45C conventional island of Unit 5-6 of Hongguanghe project of China National Nuclear Power Corp. was faced with domestic and international procurement information. After taking into account that nuclear power plant key valves are important equipment for nuclear power plants, nuclear power valves are based on safety and reliability as the first principle. , Huaxia valve technology and marketing professionals have conducted in-depth, meticulous and continuous communication with China Guangdong Nuclear Power Corp. and fully understood the requirements of China Guangdong Nuclear Power. Based on the on-site inspection and exchange of relevant personnel of China Guangdong Nuclear Power Corp., Huaxia Valve was still in operation this year. In the months of June and June, it has twice conducted detailed communication with experts of China Guangdong Nuclear Power Technology Co., Ltd. to further understand its requirements for control of product performance, materials, design structure and quality assurance system, so that the company’s proposal for bids is very strong. Targeted and laid a solid foundation for the successful bidder.

Winning a large order of nuclear power is the development opportunity is also a severe test
After years of unremitting efforts, Huaxia Valve finally obtained the first order of nearly 10 million yuan for nuclear power valves at the end of October this year. This step represents a solid first step for Huaxia Valve's product structure adjustment and transformation and upgrading. A new milestone in the history of development.

Undoubtedly, the acquisition of this order is of great benefit to Huaxia Valve. On the one hand, nuclear power quality assurance system represents the highest level of the world valve industry. The ability to develop nuclear power valves means that almost all valve products can be produced. Through the implementation of the project, it can greatly enhance the company's design, procurement, process production standards and overall strength, thus establishing a good image in the industry. On the other hand, in the current economic downturn, companies can overcome the difficult situation, can greatly boost the morale of the company from top to bottom, which is significant for the Huaxia valve.

However, whether the order can be successfully completed is also a severe test faced by Huaxia Valve. The nuclear power valve is a small accessory compared to the entire nuclear power unit, but it is an indispensable and important part of the nuclear power plant's safe operation. The requirements for safety of nuclear power systems are not only reflected in the main equipment, but also have strict requirements for nuclear power valves. Compared with the history of the development and production of nuclear power valves for more than 50 years abroad, Huaxia Valve has a need for further improvement in design, testing, manufacturing, inspection systems, and experience. The company can only solve the two fundamental problems of nuclear power valve product technology and quality in the R&D and manufacture of nuclear power valves, and it can finally gain the recognition of customers and the industry. Otherwise, the good image of the company that the company has been building for years will be destroyed.

Sign military orders to strictly control all aspects to ensure project implementation
Huaxia Valve cherishes this rare opportunity. While continuing to carry out quality system certification, national nuclear safety certification, and other methods to improve the company's quality management level, it will continue to implement nuclear power products that have been effective in the past cooperation process with China Guangdong Nuclear Power. Management model, the formation of a team of professionals and teams involved in the project, clear quality, technology, production, procurement, business and other aspects of the responsibility of the people and related responsibilities, and signed military orders, strengthen the sense of responsibility, to achieve strict control of all aspects; In response to the requirements of nuclear power valves for higher manufacturing capabilities and personnel quality, the company will also acquire equipment and train employees to strive to make this order the best and create a good start for the successful transformation of Huaxia Valve.

It is reported that the project will officially start production in early December.
