Industrial Valve
Supplier in Bolivia

Bolivia holds the second-largest natural gas reserves in South America (10.7 Tcf proved) and the world's largest known lithium resources (21 million tonnes — Uyuni Salt Flat). YPFB (Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales Bolivianos) manages the San Alberto and Margarita-Huacaya gas fields (operated by YPFB Chaco, TotalEnergies, and Repsol) and exports natural gas to Brazil via the GASBOL pipeline and to Argentina via GASNOR. Gas processing plants (Rio Grande, San Alberto separation) require API 6D full-bore ball valves, NACE MR0175 gate valves for H2S-bearing gas streams, and API 526 safety relief valves. Yacimientos de Litio Bolivianos (YLB) extracts lithium from the Uyuni Salt Flat brine — requiring corrosion-resistant SS 316L and PTFE-lined ball valves for brine concentration circuits. Bolivia's major zinc and silver mines (COMIBOL, San Cristóbal — world's third-largest silver mine) need slurry-resistant knife gate valves. All sites operate at high altitude (Uyuni: 3,656m; La Paz: 3,640m) — actuator sizing is adjusted for reduced atmospheric pressure. Vajra Industrial Solutions supplies YPFB-approved API 6D valves and lithium brine service PTFE-lined valves to La Paz procurement teams.

Shipping & Export to Bolivia

Air freight to El Alto International Airport (La Paz): 3–4 days via Lima or São Paulo. Sea freight from India to Arica, Chile (Bolivia's main cargo port via bilateral agreement) or Iquique, Chile: approximately 28–35 days, then road freight to La Paz (3–4 days). No FTA between Bolivia and India — MFN duty on valves typically 5–15%. All shipments must account for high-altitude specification (state operating altitude above sea level on equipment datasheets for actuator sizing).
