depot and pipeline completed WORLD-CLASS PETROLEUM

Stability of fuel supply is set to improve dramatically following the successful completion of the Engen Petroleum Depot Terminal Upgrade Project, located in the CFM Port in Beira, Mozambique, in November 2014.

The upgrade project involved the implementation and connection of a pipeline from the Engen depot

to the Companhia Do Pipeline Mozambique – Zimbabwe Limitada (CPMZ) Pump Station inside the port. Leading fluid conveyance products and solutions expert Incledon supplied a wide range of world-class products to the project, which is now operational after a two year construction period. The company was subcontracted to provide valves and above-ground mechan- ical infrastructure to the project by petro- chemical installation specialist company Atmei Construction. Incledon’s scope of work included the supply of pipes, valves, gaskets, flanges, bends, T-pieces and reducers. Incledon valves product manager Craig Thomson notes that the company supplied the project with a range of Teji WCB Cast Steel Valves, which are fully compliant with American Petroleum Institute (API) stand- ards. The valves – comprising gate valves, ball and check valves, as well as basket strainers – range in diameter from 10 mm to 350 mm. The gate valves are available in pres- sure class 150 and class 300. "Incledon is the sole South African importer and distributor of the Asia-based Teji range of industrial and petrochemical valves, which are highly durable, reliable, and easy to maintain and operate. These valves will be used to control, isolate and regulate the flow of hydrocarbons at the petrochem- ical depot,” he explains. Incledon was also contracted to supply valves for the fire-suppression reticulation system, which consists of butterfly valves and wafer check valves, with water and foam used as the medium. Atmei Construction logistics project and drafting manager Riaan Wiessener states that the company has been utilising Teji valves for the past eight years, owing to competitive prices and good quality. “The valves, pipes, weld-on fittings and screw fittings meet international standards and are being installednot only on fuel depots, but on fuel and lubrication depotsthat Atmei

constructs for mines throughout South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Mozambique, Lesotho and Swaziland. This is indicative of Incledon’s excel- lent quality of materials and Atmei’s highly standardised expertise in the international petrochemical industry,” he states. Wiessener believes that the success of this high-profile Beira project will provide a major competitive edge to both Atmei Construction and Incledon moving forward. “A lot of international atten- tion was placed on this project, and the proven performance of the working rela- tionship between the two companies will be recognised on a global scale, which is good for future business,” he concludes.
