Overview

Boilers typically generate steam at 10–15 bar for efficiency and distribution, but most utilization points — ironers, sterilizers, calorifiers, kitchen equipment — need steam at 3–7 bar. A Pressure Reducing Station (PRS) is the packaged skid that safely steps the pressure down, delivering steady low-pressure steam to process equipment regardless of upstream fluctuations. Our standard skid includes a pilot-operated pressure reducing valve (PRV) for tight control across load variations, an upstream Y-strainer to protect the PRV seat, a downstream safety relief valve sized for full PRV failure (per ASME), pressure gauges before and after, and manual isolation valves for maintenance. Pre-fabricated, factory-tested, and ready to drop into your steam line.

What Determines Your Quote

Every quote is engineered to your operating requirements. Pricing depends on:

  • Configuration: capacity, flow rate, head pressure, motor size, voltage/phase, materials of construction
  • Certification tier: WRAS-cert vs commercial-grade, ASME stamping, IP rating for panels
  • Delivery region: nationwide (Metro Manila, Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao); freight varies by destination
  • Installation scope: supply-only, supply + mechanical install, or full turn-key with commissioning
  • Payment structure: milestone terms tailored to project timeline (typically 40/30/20/10 for engineered scopes; 70/30 for equipment supply)
  • Tax status: 12% VAT applies to VAT-registered buyers; Zero-VAT available for eligible PEZA / SBMA locators and exporters

Formal written quote within 3 to 5 business days of complete spec confirmation. Response within 1 business day to every inquiry.

Frequently Asked Questions

What certifications come with a steam pressure reducing station?

Our steam pressure reducing stations are built to the ASME B31.1 piping code with the safety relief valve full-lift rated per ASME sizing rules, carry CE marking, and come from ISO 9001:2015 certified production. The safety valve sizing matters most here: it is sized for full PRV failure, meaning that if the pressure reducing valve fails wide open, the relief valve can discharge the entire upstream flow safely, which is the ASME requirement your safety officer will check first. Every skid is factory pressure-tested before shipment and ships with material test certificates and factory inspection reports covering the PRV, safety valve, strainer, and skid fabrication. If your plant specification calls for particular valve certifications or third-party witness testing, raise it early during inquiry and we will confirm exactly what applies in your written quotation.

What is the standard lead time for a pressure reducing station?

Standard lead time for a packaged pressure reducing station is 30 to 45 days from confirmed order, the shortest of our major steam equipment. These are pre-fabricated skids, but each one is built to your inlet pressure, outlet pressure set point, and flow capacity, then factory pressure-tested before dispatch, so they are not off-the-shelf items. Stations at common configurations (10 to 15 bar inlet stepping down to 3 to 7 bar process pressure) generally land at the shorter end of the range, while high-capacity builds or stainless-internal specifications take longer. The committed schedule is confirmed in your written quotation, issued within 3 to 5 business days of receiving your pressure and flow requirements. If the station is part of a boiler or heat exchanger order, we align the schedules so the whole steam line package arrives together.

Do you deliver PRV stations to Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao, SBMA, and Clark?

Yes. Delivery covers Metro Manila, all Luzon provinces, the Visayas, and Mindanao, including SBMA, Clark, and the PEZA industrial estates. Pressure reducing stations ship as compact, self-contained skids with lifting points built in, so they travel as standard crated freight and offload with a forklift or small crane, which keeps delivery simpler and cheaper than loose-shipped valve components assembled on-site. That is one of the practical advantages of the packaged approach: the station arrives tested and ready to bolt into your steam line rather than as a pile of parts needing site fabrication. Delivery cost is quoted per project based on skid size and destination and appears as a line item in your written quotation; give us your delivery address and site offloading capability during inquiry and we will plan the logistics with your team.

Is installation included with a PRV station, or is it supply-only?

Both supply-only and supply-plus-install are available, quoted separately so you can compare the two options directly. Because the station arrives on-site as a complete factory-tested skid with flanged connections (ANSI 150 or 300), supply-only installation is genuinely practical for any competent piping contractor: cut into the steam line, bolt up the flanges, pipe the safety valve discharge to a safe location, and set the downstream pressure. Supply-plus-install adds our coordination of positioning, hookup, set-point commissioning, and verification that the station holds stable downstream pressure under real load swings. If your plant already has a mechanical contractor on-site for a larger project, supply-only usually makes sense; for a standalone retrofit into a live steam system, the install option removes the guesswork. State your preference during inquiry and both arrangements are priced in your written quotation.

What warranty does a pressure reducing station carry?

Warranty terms depend on the valve types and materials specified (pilot-operated versus direct-spring PRV, carbon steel versus stainless internals), so the specific period and coverage are confirmed in your written quotation rather than quoted generically. Every skid ships factory pressure-tested with material test certificates and factory inspection reports, giving you documented proof of condition at handover. Claims run through our team as your single point of contact. Two practical notes on keeping coverage intact: the upstream Y-strainer must be cleaned on schedule, because debris across the PRV seat is the most common failure mode and counts as a maintenance item rather than a defect, and the station must operate within its rated inlet pressure. Ask for the warranty annex with your quotation and we will walk through it with your team before you order.

Can you customize a PRV station to a non-standard specification?

Yes, every station is configured to match your steam system from the start. Inlet pressures up to 40 bar, outlet pressures adjustable from 0.5 to 20 bar, and flow capacities from 100 to 30,000 kg/hr cover essentially any commercial or industrial steam plant in the Philippines. You choose pilot-operated PRVs for tight control across swinging loads or direct-spring valves for simpler duty, carbon steel, SS304, or SS316 bodies, and bronze or stainless internals to suit your steam chemistry. Beyond the standard skid we can add bypass legs for maintenance without shutdown, duplex parallel PRV arrangements for redundancy, and non-standard flange specifications where your existing pipework demands it. Send us your boiler operating pressure, the equipment the station will feed, and the required flow, and a custom configuration is quoted in writing within 3 to 5 business days.
