DALLAS — Flowserve Corporation, the Dallas-based global provider of fluid motion and control products and services, has been selected to supply control and on-off valves for Horizonte Project. The Project is being managed by Pöyry Empreendimentos Industriais S.A. which is responsible to execute the construction. Under the agreement, Pöyry plans to purchase up to $11 million in Flowserve valves and valve related products for construction of the project being built in western Brazil, in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, in the city of Três Lagoas.

It looks like those valves are working just fine
This construction project is believed to be the largest single-line pulp plant in the world, with a nominal capacity of 1.3 million tons of dry pulp per year. The new facility will export part of its production, as well as support the new paper plant currently under development by International Paper S/A (IP), which is located at the same location.
“Flowserve will ship approximately 1400 control and on-off valves over the next 18 months,” according to Flow Control President Thomas L. Pajonas. “We are proud to be selected by Pöyry to participate in a project of this magnitude, and are committed to being a strategic partner in helping expand their presence in the Brazilian pulp and paper market.”
The order will consist of a number of different types of Flowserve valves. These will include NAF Duball full port ball valves; NAF Setball segmented ball valves, NAF Torex triple offset butterfly valves, Durco Teflon-lined butterfly valves, Atomac Teflon-lined full port ball valves, and Valtek Mark One globe control valves.
