Precision-engineered solutions for Indonesia's upstream, midstream and downstream operations
Why bleed ball valves are critical to Indonesia's energy and industrial growth
Indonesia remains one of Southeast Asia's largest hydrocarbon producers. Operations in the Minas, Rokan, and Mahakam blocks demand high-integrity bleed and DBB ball valves for pipeline isolation, pressure testing, and maintenance procedures in both onshore and offshore environments.
Indonesia operates world-class LNG export facilities at Bontang (East Kalimantan) and Tangguh (West Papua). Cryogenic bleed ball valves rated for β196Β°C are essential for safe LNG transfer, storage, and regasification processes at these mega-projects.
Pertamina's refinery complexes at Cilacap and Balikpapan require NACE-compliant valves for sour service media. DBB ball valves with metal seating provide zero-leakage isolation in high-temperature, corrosive process streams including HβS-containing hydrocarbons.
Indonesia holds the world's largest geothermal potential. High-pressure, high-temperature ball valves are deployed extensively in steam pipelines and geothermal power plants across Java, Sumatra, and Sulawesi, where reliable isolation is critical to plant safety.
Major EPC contractors operating in Indonesia β including those executing national strategic projects under the government's downstream industrialization program β source bleed and DBB ball valves in large volumes for pipeline construction, compressor stations, and processing facilities.
Indonesia's commitment to net-zero by 2060 is accelerating investment in green hydrogen, bio-LNG, and carbon capture infrastructure. These emerging sectors demand advanced valve solutions with the same high-integrity standards as conventional oil & gas applications.



With over 30 years of manufacturing experience, SLVCN is a professional designer and manufacturer of high-performance forged steel ball valves for critical industrial applications. We specialize in extreme working conditions including high pressure, high temperature, and cryogenic environments, providing safe and reliable flow control solutions for global industrial projects where operational reliability is non-negotiable.
As a dedicated bleed ball valve supplier and factory serving Indonesia, SLVCN delivers products that meet the rigorous demands of Pertamina, PLN, and international EPC contractors operating across the Indonesian archipelago.

Indonesia's ban on raw mineral exports is driving massive investment in smelters, refineries, and petrochemical complexes β all of which require large quantities of high-integrity bleed and DBB ball valves.
SKK Migas and Pertamina are increasingly specifying API 6D, API 607 fire-safe, and NACE MR0175 compliance for all new valve procurement, raising the quality bar for suppliers across Indonesia.
The adoption of SCADA and DCS systems in Indonesian pipelines is accelerating demand for pneumatically and electrically actuated bleed ball valves with remote monitoring and fail-safe capabilities.
Indonesia's TKDN (local content) policy encourages partnerships with certified international manufacturers who can provide technical support, local stocking, and documentation in Bahasa Indonesia.
Double Block and Bleed (DBB) ball valves allow operators to isolate a section of pipeline and bleed off trapped pressure between the two seats β a critical safety requirement for maintenance, instrumentation, and hot-work permits. In Indonesia's tropical climate with high humidity and HβS exposure in Sumatran fields, forged steel DBB valves with metal seating and anti-corrosion coatings provide the longest service life and lowest total cost of ownership.
Our core product range covers forged trunnion-mounted and floating ball valves, top-entry and side-entry ball valves, fully welded ball valves, metal seated ball valves, cryogenic ball valves, high-pressure ball valves up to Class 2500 (PN420) and customized higher pressure ratings, as well as high-temperature service valves. Compared with conventional cast valves, SLVCN forged valves feature higher material density, superior mechanical strength, improved resistance to pressure fluctuations and thermal shock, and significantly longer service life under severe service conditions.
Designed for High Pressure, High Temperature, and Cryogenic Applications, SLVCN valves are widely used in long-distance oil & gas transmission pipelines, LNG storage and regasification terminals, offshore platforms and deepwater projects, power plants, refineries, compressor stations, and high-pressure chemical processing units. Whether handling flammable media, corrosive fluids, sour service media (HβS), ultra-low temperatures, or extreme differential pressures, our valves ensure stable operation, bubble-tight shut-off, and maximum system safety in accordance with international sealing and performance standards.
Safety and reliability are embedded in every design. Our forged ball valves are equipped with Double Block and Bleed (DBB) structures, anti-blowout stems, fire-safe designs in accordance with API 607 / API 6FA, anti-static devices, emergency sealing systems, and pressure-balanced seating structures suitable for high differential pressure operation.
Valves can be designed with SPE or DPE seat configurations based on application requirements. For sour service environments β a common challenge in Indonesia's Sumatran and East Kalimantan oil fields β materials and sealing systems comply with NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 requirements.
How SLVCN bleed ball valves perform across Indonesia's key industrial projects
Subsea and topside isolation on offshore platforms in the Natuna Sea requires compact, corrosion-resistant DBB ball valves with full bore design, suitable for Class 1500β2500 service and compliant with offshore structural weight limitations.
High-temperature steam pipelines at Indonesia's Kamojang geothermal field require valves rated for continuous service above 250Β°C with reliable bleed capability for safe maintenance isolation of pressurized steam lines.
Indonesia's fertilizer industry, centered in Bontang, East Kalimantan, requires ammonia-service valves with full compliance to ASME B16.34 and API 6D, with metal-seated DBB configurations for ammonia synthesis loop isolation.
Cryogenic bleed ball valves rated to β196Β°C are deployed in LNG loading arms, boil-off gas systems, and storage tank isolation circuits at Tangguh LNG, where bubble-tight shut-off and zero fugitive emissions are mandatory.
Pertamina's Refinery Development Master Plan (RDMP) at Balikpapan is one of Indonesia's largest downstream investments. The project specifies high-integrity forged DBB ball valves for crude oil, vacuum gas oil, and hydrogen service streams.
High-pressure water injection systems for EOR in Sumatran fields operate at pressures exceeding Class 900. Trunnion-mounted bleed ball valves with pressure-balanced seats deliver reliable isolation and minimal operating torque in these demanding conditions.
Every valve is tested, certified, and built to international standards
To ensure consistent quality, each valve undergoes a complete series of inspections and performance tests in accordance with API 6D, API 598, and ISO 5208, including shell test, seat leakage test (Rate A / zero visible leakage), fire-safe test, cryogenic test, operational torque test, dimensional inspection, and PMI material verification. SLVCN operates dedicated cryogenic testing facilities to validate valve performance at ultra-low temperatures down to β196Β°C.
SLVCN is certified to ISO 9001, CE, and API standards, and our products comply with API 6D, ASME B16.34, DIN, ANSI, and JIS specifications. We provide extensive customization capabilities covering sizes from 1/2" to 36", full bore or reduced bore, special materials including A105, LF2, F11, F22, F51, Inconel, various soft and metal seat designs, and intelligent actuation with pneumatic, electric, and gear operators.
