From Sandblasting to Standby Air: A Versatile Air Solution
Atlas Copco’s XAHS 400 PACE model provides flexible and efficient air solutions for one of Pakistan’s oldest oil refineries, supporting standby air and in-house sandblasting needs. This versatile compressor has reduced costs and streamlined operations, preparing the refinery for future challenges.
Our client, one of Pakistan's oldest and most established oil refineries, continues its mission to provide high-quality petroleum products while strengthening its position in the industry. Over time, the reliability it has built has led the refinery to seek new solutions to achieve greater flexibility and dependability in response to its continuously growing needs.
In addition to its existing stationary compressors, our client required a portable air compressor to supply standby air and operate pneumatic tools at the maintenance facility. Previously, they outsourced sandblasting operations by renting equipment. The challenges during this process prompted them to explore ways to handle these operations in-house.
In this context, our client chose the Atlas Copco XAHS 400 model. Atlas Copco recommended the XAHS 400 PACE model to meet the client’s needs, providing a solution suitable for a wide range of applications with a pressure range of 5-12 bar and free air delivery of 351-400 CFM. Thanks to the versatility of the XAHS 400 PACE, the client was able to meet their standby air requirements and perform applications such as sandblasting in-house.
Since incorporating the XAHS 400 PACE model into their fleet, our client has significantly increased their operational efficiency. The client stated, “We have been using Atlas Copco’s stationary compressors for a long time, but the XAHS 400 PACE has provided us with a reliable solution that meets our needs. Being able to conduct sandblasting operations in-house has reduced our costs and streamlined our processes.”
By choosing Atlas Copco products, our client believes that this equipment will provide significant advantages in their future projects. With the XAHS 400 PACE portable compressor, they are confident in their preparedness for both current and future challenges.
By adding Atlas Copco products to their fleet, our client is reinforcing their strong position in the industry while achieving operational efficiency and cost advantages.
