22 يوليو, 2019
Atlas Copco Rental is the first Rental company in the Norwegian Oil & Gas offshore market with 100% oil-free diesel driven compressor compliant to the NORSOK Z-015 Standards in the rental fleet. The Norwegian petroleum industry has developed the NORSOK standards to ensure adequate safety, value adding and cost effectiveness for petroleum industry developments and operations. With this unique solution, Atlas Copco rental takes up its role as industry leader offering compressed oil-free air as an answer to the needs of the offshore oil and gas industry.
Oil-free air as a standard for offshore applications
Oil-free air is developed for applications where air quality is essential for the end-product and production processes. It is mostly recognized for its crucial role in industrial processes, such as the pharmaceutical or food and beverage industry but also for the offshore (Oil and gas) industry, the advantages are significant. The technology eliminates the risk for oil contamination during the production process without compromising on performance and energy-efficiency. It is a safe solution and guarantees highest air quality.
Because of its high quality, the elimination of risks and the environmentally friendly character, more and more companies active in the Oil & Gas offshore industry consider choosing this ISO-certified technology. Not only for applications where oil contamination is harmful but also for instrumentation air, pipeline maintenance & pre-commissioning, feed air for Nitrogen generators used for platform (de)commissioning or oil-free air for bubble curtains during windfarm installations. The high quality also improves the lifespan of machines that are connected with oil-free equipment.
Expert in oil-free compressed air
We are the market leader in 100% oil-free air technology. We were the first supplier to obtain the ISO 8573-1 Class 0 certification and ever since, “Class zero” compressors are the industry standard. With our NORSOK certified oil-free compressors, we expand our fleet to offer a solution to all needs from the industry, on- and offshore. With this solution, we are able to respond to the specific needs of the Norwegian offshore industry and to the NORSOK standards.
