Industries and Applications We Supply
| Industry | Applications |
|---|---|
Oil & Gas Industry |
Pipe flanges form the backbone of Kuwait’s hydrocarbon infrastructure, connecting equipment across all segments of oil and gas operations. At upstream facilities including Burgan Field (world’s second-largest), Safaniyah, and Greater Burgan, Class 300# and 600# ASTM A105 weld neck flanges connect production wells to gathering stations and processing facilities. NACE MR0175-compliant materials support sour gas service in fields with H2S presence. Midstream operations rely on large-diameter Class 300-600# flanges (12″ through 48″) connecting the trunk pipeline network to Mina Al-Ahmadi and onward to Al-Shuaiba refining hub and export terminals. Downstream refining at KNPC’s Mina Al-Ahmadi (560,000 bpd) and Al-Shuaiba (315,000 bpd) refineries incorporates thousands of carbon steel flanges across atmospheric and vacuum distillation units, fluid catalytic crackers, hydrocracking units, and product treatment systems. |
Power Generation |
Kuwait’s growing power generation capacity relies on Class 300# and 600# carbon steel flanges throughout natural gas-fired combined-cycle plants, steam turbine systems, and expanding renewable energy infrastructure. These flanges ensure safe and reliable operation in high-temperature and high-pressure piping systems. |
Petrochemical & Refining |
In Kuwait, the Petrochemical Industries Company (PIC) operates major facilities at Shuwaikh and Subiya Energy Zone, representing significant consumers of Werner Flanges products. High-quality flanges are extensively used throughout olefins crackers, polyethylene production, ammonia and methanol synthesis units, and specialty chemical processing. Class 300# and 600# flanges handle moderate-temperature process piping, while Class 900# flanges support high-pressure synthesis gas systems. Stainless steel and specialty alloy flanges provide corrosion resistance for demanding chemical services. |
Water & Industrial Utilities |
Water desalination and treatment facilities in Kuwait utilize large-diameter Class 150# flanges in seawater intake systems and Class 150-300# flanges throughout treatment and distribution networks supplying both residential and industrial consumers. Stainless steel and corrosion-resistant flanges are used to protect against the harsh seawater environment. |
