Trillium’s Blakeborough BV990 and BV992 Control Valves

Blakeborough BV990 control valve with X-Stream trim for water injection pump recycle application on FPSO vessel

Offshore oil and gas production demands equipment that can withstand extreme pressures, corrosive environments, and limited access for maintenance. The Blakeborough BV990 and BV992 control valves, engineered by Trillium Flow Technologies, are purpose-built to meet these challenges by building with a thicker valve body and using hardy materials capable of the demanding service conditions.

Designed for Class 900lb and above, the BV990 and BV992 are cage-guided, quick-change trim valves that offer effective flow control across a wide range of flow conditions. Their modular design supports globe, angle, and Z-pattern configurations, making them ideal for space-constrained offshore platforms and FPSO vessels. The X-Stream trim system is compatible with BV990/BV992. This proprietary Trillium solution is highly effective at reducing the cavitation associated with pressure drops often found in offshore operations.

One of the standout features of the BV990/BV992 is its in-line serviceability. With no welded or screwed-in trim components, maintenance teams can perform rapid interventions without removing the valve from the line, an essential advantage in offshore environments where downtime is costly and access is limited.

These valves have a proven record in offshore service. The BV990 models have been deployed as water injection pump recycle valves aboard FPSO operations, equipped with X-Stream trim to handle fluctuating flow rates and pressure surges. This real-world application highlights the valve’s ability to deliver stable, reliable control in dynamic marine conditions.

Material compliance with ASME B16.34 and API 6A ensures mechanical integrity under extreme pressures and temperatures. Additionally, TÜV SÜD hydrogen certification positions the valves for future-ready offshore applications such as blue hydrogen production.

For offshore operators seeking control solutions that combine performance, maintainability, and compliance, these valves represent a trusted and field-proven choice. They make a great addition to a growing suite of offshore suitable products, supported by specialist services developed to meet the specific challenges posed by offshore work.
