Hydrocarbon Processing Pipes

Hydrocarbon processing projects require a wide variety of seamless steel pipes, as line pipes and heat exchanger tubes. Vallourec offers carbon and alloy steel pipes, for Plant owners, EPCs, and major local Distributors. These pipes are applied in new builds (Greenfield), maintenance and modernization of:

Refineries
Petrochemicals
FPSOs
Gas Processing

We offer competitive and innovative solutions, on time delivery and operational excellence in the execution of every project.

Your best partner in the most challenging industrial applications

We create the right solution that meets the customers' most tight requirements for:

Automotive - light and heavy vehicles
Mechanical engineering, machinery & equipment
Infrastructure and construction projects

Beyond the tubes, Vallourec can provide finished components through added services carried out at our facilities or by selected partners.

Automotive

Vallourec offers tubular solutions for cars, trucks, buses, trailers and motorcycles. We delivery hot rolled, cold drawn and forged tubes and components directly for OEMs and its tier1-2 suppliers. The main applications are for the systems:

suspension
transmission
steering

Forged components: Vallourec has a state of the art Forge facility. We can produce finished parts or machined as Integral Axles which guarantee the safety and integrity of the vehicles.

Mechanical engineering, machinery and equipment

Vallourec offers hot rolled, cold drawn and shaped tubes for several mechanical engineering applications as:

agricultural and construction machinery
railway wagons
drill rods for mining
hydraylic cylinders and circuits
gas cylinders
bearings

Tubular railway axle: new product patented by Vallourec which improve the efficiency of heavy haul applications. This lightweight axle increases the wagon capacity and reduces costs with fuel and wheelset components.

Cold drawn and shaped components: high precision, tight tolerances with superior mechanical properties. These tubes increase customer productivity, by the improvement the machining operations

Construction & Infrastructure

Our solutions – rectangular, squared and circular shaped tubes are applied in structural elements as columns, truss, beams and foundations in several projects as:

Bridges and footbridges
Sports arenas and exhibitions building
Ports and airports
Industrial and commercial

Vallourec work side by side with engineering, consulting and architecture companies to optimize the design to create value for your project:

Reduce weight and increase resistance
Reduce construction time, improving project management
Improve visual aspect/ construction design

Renewable energy : an expanding market

The clean energy and low carbon technologies represent a growth market, and Brazil is one of the key countries in this energy revolution.
Vallourec offers dedicated tubular solutions for this market, especially for Biomass and Wind Power.

Biomassa

Biomass is a type o organic raw material that is used to produce electricity. The Sugar & Ethanol and Pulp & Paper are the leading sectors in the power generation from biomass, presenting the high efficiency processes for cogeneration.

Vallourec deliveries tubular solutions that equip Boilers and Heat exchangers used in these industries, including carbon and alloy grades, fit for purpose according to each Project/equipment design.

VBRMo4: is new grade with the best cost-efficiency in the market. These seamless carbon steel tubes have a lifetime of, at least, four times longer than the welded tubes used in the boiler’s pre heaters of the sugar and ethanol mills.

Wind

Wind power is generated during the transformation the air movements into electricity. For these type of power generation, wind farms are built, where they can be located onshore or offshore. One of the main equipment from those farms is the turbines, which converts the wind into energy.

Vallourec supplies structural tubes for the rear frames, which is an important component of the wind turbine.
