Spirax Sarco Engineering (China) Ltd. is the Chinese operating company of the UK-headquartered Spirax-Sarco Engineering group, with its regional headquarters and integrated factory, warehouse and office complex completed in 2010 in Shanghai. The parent group is a global designer and manufacturer of steam systems, control valves, separators, flash vessels and steam traps used in industrial steam, hot water and compressed-air installations, including the boiler and steam plant onboard merchant vessels, FPSOs and other offshore units. From its Shanghai base, Spirax Sarco supports Chinese industry and marine clients with engineered steam systems, on-site survey, training and after-sales service, distributed through authorised partners with warehousing in Beijing, Shanghai, Shandong and Fujian. For the maritime sector, the firm provides pressure vessel inspection support for ship-installed flash vessels, separators, blowdown vessels and accumulators, with engineering reports and certificates aligned with PED, ASME VIII and IACS requirements as applicable to the equipment in question. Field surveys can be arranged at shipyards in the Yangtze River Delta during newbuilding and conversion projects, supporting commissioning, witness testing and hydrostatic verification, while underwater inspection of submerged components on offshore steam systems is coordinated with diving subcontractors. The company also supplies engineered services covering safety valve overhaul, steam trap surveys, energy audits and condensate recovery upgrades, all of which are applicable to ship and offshore boiler plant. The Chinese operating company is recognised as a service supplier by ABS, allowing its inspection reports on covered pressure equipment to be used in class certification on relevant tonnage built or operated in China.
