Industries and Applications We Supply
| Industry | Applications |
|---|---|
Mining & Minerals Processing |
South Africa accounts for a significant share of global platinum group metals (PGMs), gold, chromium, manganese, and coal production, with mining infrastructure spanning some of the most demanding environments on earth. Deep-level gold mines in the Witwatersrand Basin descend beyond 3,500 metres, where extreme temperatures, high-pressure rock formations, and aggressive groundwater chemistry place intense demands on piping systems and flanged connections.
Werner Flanges supplies carbon steel, stainless steel, and duplex stainless steel flanges to South Africa’s mining sector for slurry handling, mine dewatering, compressed air distribution, refrigeration piping for deep-level cooling, and surface processing plant infrastructure. ASTM A105 weld neck flanges in Class 300# and 600# are widely specified for compressed air systems and high-pressure water lines in shaft infrastructure, while duplex stainless steel flanges (UNS S31803/S32205) serve corrosive slurry and acid mine drainage applications. Our flanges meet the requirements of the Mine Health and Safety Act and align with engineering standards applied by major South African mining houses including Anglo American, Gold Fields, Sibanye-Stillwater, and Implats. |
Power Generation |
Eskom operates South Africa’s national electricity grid through a portfolio of coal-fired power stations, the Koeberg nuclear power station near Cape Town, and pumped-storage hydro facilities. Coal-fired stations including Medupi, Kusile, Matimba, and Majuba consume substantial quantities of carbon steel flanges in high-pressure steam systems, feedwater circuits, cooling water distribution, and fuel handling infrastructure. Main steam systems at these supercritical plants operate at pressures exceeding 250 bar and temperatures above 600°C, requiring Class 1500# and 2500# alloy steel flanges for the most critical connections.
Werner Flanges supplies power-grade flanges to South African generating facilities meeting ASME B31.1 Power Piping standards, with comprehensive material documentation suitable for Eskom’s engineering approval processes. As South Africa diversifies its electricity mix through independent power producers (IPPs) developing wind, solar PV, and concentrated solar power projects, Werner Flanges supports balance-of-plant piping requirements for these renewable energy installations. The Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP) has attracted international developers whose piping specifications align with Werner Flanges’ internationally certified product range. |
Petrochemical & Refining |
Sasol’s Secunda facility in Mpumalanga is the world’s largest coal-to-liquids (CTL) plant and one of the largest single-site chemical complexes globally, consuming vast quantities of industrial flanges across its syngas generation, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, product refining, and chemical derivative production units. Operating conditions at Secunda are among the most demanding in South African industry, with high-temperature, high-pressure synthesis gas streams, hydrogen-rich environments, and corrosive process fluids requiring carefully specified flange materials and pressure classes.
Werner Flanges supplies ASTM A105 carbon steel flanges in Class 600# and 900# for Sasol’s high-pressure applications, ASTM A182 F316/F316L stainless steel flanges for corrosive chemical service, and chromium-molybdenum alloy steel flanges (ASTM A182 F11, F22) for elevated temperature hydrogen service. The Natref refinery in Sasolburg and Sapref (Shell/BP) refinery in Durban similarly utilize carbon and alloy steel flanges across crude distillation, hydrotreating, and product handling units. We provide NACE MR0175-compliant flanges for any South African applications involving hydrogen sulfide service |
Water & Industrial Utilities |
South Africa faces significant water security challenges, with ageing municipal infrastructure, industrial water demand, and drought conditions driving investment in water treatment, storage, and distribution infrastructure. The Department of Water and Sanitation’s bulk water schemes, including the Lesotho Highlands Water Project Phase 2, large-scale wastewater treatment works upgrades in metropolitan areas, and desalination feasibility projects for the Western Cape, all represent significant demand for industrial flanges in various materials and pressure ratings.
Werner Flanges supplies Class 150# and 300# carbon steel flanges for water treatment and distribution applications, stainless steel flanges for potable water contact surfaces, and ductile iron compatible flat-face flanges for connection to existing municipal infrastructure. Our flanges meet SANS 62.1 and SABS standards applicable to South African water industry procurement, supporting municipalities, water boards such as Rand Water, Umgeni Water, and Sedibeng Water, and engineering contractors executing bulk water infrastructure |
