valve and actuator remanufacturing facilities in
Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Deer Park, Texas to
provide service to Delayed Coker Units located
throughout the USA and Caribbean. Southern Valve
Service has a long experience with the repair of
Wedgeplug™ brands

Reconditioning
Professional, Cost-Effective Service
We originally based our business on reconditioning.
This proved to be an excellent foundation to which
we have added an " Extensive in-House Library of
Data Collection" and other specialized capabilities
and procedures. Now, we routinely work with more
exotic metals and materials found in critical valve
service applications.
Key Benefits
Our reconditioning services also comply with the
many critical requirements associated with hazardous
service valves used in the following applications:
-
chlorine

-
phosgene
-
oxygen
-
HF acid
-
cryogenic
Capabilities
We have also dedicated a facility exclusively to the
reconditioning of small (2-6" 150-300#) commodity
valves to provide our customers with a
cost-effective, quality program to reduce their
overall cost of valve ownership. |

Feedback Separates Us From Our Competitors
New customers often hear about us because of our reputation
for prompt repairs and valves that meet or exceed
expectations. They soon see that our long-term
relationships are built on a commitment to improve the
service life of our customers' valves.
Feedback
It's often the difference between long, successful valve
service and costly downtime. We operate as a vital link
between our end user customers and the major valve
manufacturers. In this role, we provide valuable
information to both parties that saves money and improves
valve performance over the life of a processing plant. By
documenting the condition of a valve after it comes out of
service, we can analyze the material condition and wear
associated with the service.
