Marine & Shipbuilding

Valves for freshwater are used maritime applications for the same reasons as on dry land. They are incorporated into systems for desalination, regulating coolants, boilers, chilled water systems, potable drinking water, sewage and waste disposal. Bray manufactures a full line of butterfly valves, ball valves, actuation and control accessories for virtually every freshwater marine application found on Military vessels, commercial shipping, Passenger cruise ships and more including drinking water applications per NSF-61/372.

Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO), also known as bunker fuel, heavy bunker fuel or residual fuel oil, is the most prominently used fuels for propulsion of ships. Heavy fuel oil contains metals such as vanadium and nickel as well as minerals such as sulphur, sodium and silicone, which are abrasive, can create sludge deposits that are difficult to remove, and cause corrosion. Heavy fuel oil processing onboard ships and marine vessels requires Fuel Oil Purifiers, pumps, heating elements, settling tanks and service tanks. Fuel oil is also chemically treated. Bray's manufactures a full line of high performance butterfly valves for heavy fuel oil applications and zero leakage isolation ball valves featuring fire-safe designs tested per ISO 10497 for all marine fuel applications.
