Plaquemine's chlor-alkali and petrochemical complex runs stainless and higher alloys wherever carbon steel would not survive, which produces a steady stainless surplus stream.
Stainless holds value even when worn, so the marking matters more than the condition. A 316 body with a legible grade stamp is a straightforward purchase; an unmarked one is priced as carbon steel until proven otherwise.
We buy in Plaquemine and across Iberville Parish. Mixed lots, partial assemblies, actuated and bare-stem valves and valves needing repair are all considered. We will review a list rather than demand a perfect inventory.
What we look at
The review, specifically
For this material in Plaquemine, the questions are the same as anywhere else: what pattern it is, what it is made of, what class it is, whether it is complete and whether any paperwork survives. The answers are easier to establish than most sellers expect.
Photographs of the nameplate, the body marking and the whole unit usually answer all five. If they do not, we ask rather than guess.

Collection
Pickup across Iberville Parish
Pickup is planned around production, not around us. If the only window is a night shift, a weekend or a narrow gap between two contractors, we will work to it. What we need is a loading point, a contact on the gate and a realistic description of what has to move.
