Title:

Valve design for molten salt applications

Agreement Number:

993908

Agreement Value:

$250,000.00

Agreement Date:

Aug 15, 2022 - Feb 29, 2024

Description:

Gosco Valves has been focusing on "Green Technologies", specifically in nuclear and solar energy production because the transfer medium is molten salt. The melting point of chloride/sulphide salts is almost 600C, so to operate efficiently the process temperatures need to be as high as 700C. These temperatures are higher than 99% of the world’s valve manufacturers can handle, but also chloride and sulphide salts are extremely corrosive at these temperatures and any external leaks can be lethal. Gosco’s proprietary boriding technology can also be modified to boride the internal bore of pipes to enhance corrosion resistance and improve erosion resistance. Our goal is to build on our current technology to become the leader in this field
