The 2023 LNG Valve Design and Fault Analysis Training Course was successfully held


LNG valves play a crucial role in the production, storage, and transportation of LNG. In order to enhance the theoretical level and technical ability of LNG valve related practitioners, and improve the reliability of LNG valves, the Valve Branch of the China General Machinery Industry Association successfully held the "2023 LNG Valve Design and Fault Analysis Training Course" in Hangzhou from November 28th to 30th, 2023.

 

Zhang Zonglie, vice president of China General Machinery Industry Association, delivered a speech at the opening ceremony. The valve is one of the key equipment of the LNG (liquefied natural gas) terminal. In recent years, the enterprises in the whole industry chain have integrated their intelligence to tackle key problems, and through joint research and development, collaborative innovation and other modes, they have worked together to improve the integrity, safety and progressiveness of the LNG industry chain. In the future, the China General Machinery Industry Association will fully leverage its role as a bridge and link, actively carry out organizational coordination and consulting services, and promote the research and development, design, and engineering application of domestically produced LNG valve equipment in a targeted, planned, and step-by-step manner around the urgent need to solve the "bottleneck" key equipment and related technologies in the industry, providing universal equipment assistance for achieving the "dual carbon goal".

 

Guo Rui, Secretary General of the Valve Branch of China Communications Association, presided over the training. Professor Li Shuxun from Lanzhou University of Technology, Senior Engineer Jia Qiyue from CNPC Global Engineering Co., Ltd., Associate Professor and Doctoral Supervisor Qian Jinyuan from the Institute of Chemical Machinery at Zhejiang University, Senior Engineer Zhang Wenzhong from Hubei Taihe Petrochemical Equipment Co., Ltd., and former Senior Expert Jiao Chang'an from Beihai Liquefied Natural Gas Co., Ltd. of the State Grid Corporation gave lectures on the structural strength and mechanical foundation of LNG valves and the optimization of finite element analysis coupled with various physical fields, material query and stress assessment standards for LNG valves, preliminary analysis of sealing design for LNG valves, analysis and solutions to typical problems in the application of LNG ball valves, fault analysis of LNG valves, and case analysis and response measures during valve installation and use. These lectures received unanimous praise from the students.

 

At the end of the training, an online exam was conducted for the training content, and a certificate of completion was issued to the students who passed the exam. The training was a complete success.
