No more production stops with Atlas Copco Rental’s contingency plan in place
Antwerp, Belgium, February 4, 2014: Whenever Ineos Phenol, the world’s largest producer of phenol and acetone, is in need of temporary compressed air, Atlas Copco Rental can deliver the required equipment immediately.
4 February 2014
Following a scan of its entire plant by Atlas Copco Rental’s specialists to define the exact needs for compressed air in case of an emergency, Ineos Phenol now has a contingency plan in place and is fully prepared.
Up & running at full capacity after only 5 days
In April 2012 Atlas Copco Rental delivered 13 oil-free air compressors to counterbalance Ineos Phenol’s turbo compressor. Thanks to the contingency plan made upfront, delivery and complete set up of the installation only took 5 days.
Fuel savings
Ineos Phenol initially requested 20.000 m³/hr of 100% oil-free air delivered by diesel compressors. Further discussion between the company and Atlas Copco Rental made it clear that Ineos Phenol had 11kV - 3MW power available that could also be used. This enabled Atlas Copco Rental to offer a wider variety of equipment enabling drastic fuel savings:
- 7 x PTE 1500 electric compressors + transformer
- TF6300 + distribution box DB8000 + electrical cables
- 6 x PTS916 diesel compressors + 20.000 liter & 5.500 liter fuel tanks + fuel hoses
- air hoses and connectors
No more production stops
