Selected as one of the ＂Two New＂ Major Scientific and Technological Achievements in Zhejiang Province
Empowering industrial upgrading with hardcore technology, selected for the list of major scientific and technological achievements in Zhejiang Province's "two new" initiatives
Recently, the Science and Technology Department of Zhejiang Province officially released the first batch of "two new" major scientific and technological achievements promotion list for 2025. Zhejiang Bethel Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Bethel") has successfully selected the "large-diameter high-pressure high seal LNG (liquefied natural gas) cryogenic ball valve" independently developed by Bethel Technology Co., Ltd., which is listed in the field of new industrialization - process equipment. This selection marks the company's technological breakthrough in the high-end industrial valve field, which has once again been recognized by provincial authorities, injecting strong technological momentum into Zhejiang Province's promotion of large-scale equipment updates and consumer goods trade in strategy.
Overcoming technological barriers and creating "deep cold" hard core products
The "Large Diameter High Pressure High Sealing LNG Cryogenic Ball Valve" selected this time is a breakthrough achievement developed by Bethel for extreme working conditions in the LNG field. This product has a large diameter, high pressure, and high sealing performance, and can operate stably in low-temperature environments at temperatures as low as -196 ℃, and even at temperatures as low as -196 ℃. It has overcome core technical challenges such as material adaptability, sealing structure design, and reliability under extreme working conditions for cryogenic valves. By innovatively using special alloy materials and multi-layer sealing structures, the product achieves zero leakage control under high pressure difference, greatly improving the safety and efficiency of LNG transportation systems, and filling the technical gap of high-end cryogenic ball valves in China. According to authoritative institutions' appraisal, the main performance indicators of this product have reached the international advanced level and have been successfully applied in multiple large-scale LNG engineering projects in China.
Innovation driven development, creating industry benchmarks
As a leading industrial valve supplier in China, Bethel always regards technological innovation as the core driving force for enterprise development. The company relies on provincial-level special valve research institutes and nationally recognized laboratories (CNAS) to continuously increase research and development investment, and has obtained a total of 42 invention patents and 88 utility model patents. It has undertaken major scientific and technological projects such as the National Torch Program and the Zhejiang Province "Leading Goose" Program. This selected achievement is an important milestone for the company to focus on tackling "bottleneck" technology and achieve domestic substitution. The product not only serves energy giants such as PetroChina, Sinopec, and CNOOC, but also successfully enters high standard markets such as offshore equipment and international energy engineering, demonstrating the global competitiveness of "Made in China".
Empowering industrial upgrading and fulfilling responsibility
The promotion and application of Bethel cryogenic ball valves will effectively promote equipment updates and technological iterations in the LNG industry chain. The high reliability and intelligent design of the product meet the requirements of Zhejiang Province's "new industrialization" strategy for high-end and green equipment, providing key support for the safe and efficient operation of natural gas storage and transportation, chemical processes, and other fields. The company leader said, "This selection is a recognition of Bethel's technological strength by the government, and it is also the driving force for us to deepen our scientific and technological research. In the future, we will continue to focus on innovative breakthroughs in extreme working condition valve technology, and help promote national energy security and high-quality industrial development
