Indra was established in 1987 in Milan. Today, it’s a leading company in designing and manufacturing ball and needle valves in various configurations, including floating and trunnion ones. These valves, available in single and double block and bleed versions, cater to specific applications ranging from high-temperature to hydrogen cryogenics.
The company’s flagship products also include instrument manifolds built to the highest standards of quality, safety, and efficiency.
Its accurate production capacity, combined with efficient technical, logistics, and support services, ensures high-quality standards for an all-Italian-made product.
Moreover, Indra stands out from the crowd for its tailor-made products.
To maintain superior quality standards, Indra uses first-rate Italian and European raw materials, mostly forged (bypassing China’s or India’s supply chains). Moreover, the company meticulously oversees every production stage, from engineering to manufacturing, and conducts a comprehensive range of in-house tests.
Examples of ball valves with tailor-made configuration
Indra’s experience in understanding standard technical solutions, its innovative choices, and maximum versatility enables the development of customised solutions.
A team of specialised technicians can analyse and engineer even the most complex requests, ensuring tailor-made products.
The DBB Twin valve, for example, is made from a single block of various materials, from the most common Aisi 316L to exotic ones. Its super compact size makes it easy to mount process variable control instrumentation (pressure transmitters, pressure switches, pressure gauges, etc.) in small spaces. Moreover, DBB Twin valves have one connection to the process and two separate output connections, each made in the DBB configuration. Separating the output lines makes controlling the process with one instrument while maintaining the other possible. DBB Twin valves can come with separate inputs for two independent pressure lines. They are available in two versions: ball and needle.
To meet a specific installation need within a plant, a customized manifold dedicated to an installation project in the North Sea was created.
The peculiarity of this product is the creation of a multi-way manifold obtained from a single monobloc, in noble material Inconel 625, API 10000 version.
As part of its commitment to ongoing improvement and in response to changing consumer preferences, Indra has expanded its product offerings to include LNG and hydrogen, two rapidly growing industries.
This regards cryogenic valves, in particular, selected for major LNG projects, such as Arctic and Yamal.
In-house tests ensure quality and reliable cryogenic valves.
Hydrogen is another rapidly growing sector for which Indra has recently acquired a few projects, including Minerbio Storage Field and Tavazzano Thermoelectric Plant.
Even in this case, hydrogen valves are tested in our laboratory, which has been recently expanded to fit a Hydro/Gas test bench that can test valves up to 15000 PSI.
Indra is committed to consolidating its position in these markets and developing solutions and strategies to be qualified by end-users.
Fields of application
Over the years, these solutions have allowed Indra to establish its presence in various industry sectors: primarily in the Oil & Gas, petrochemical, up to recently arriving in the Power, LNG and hydrogen markets.
