Atlas Copco Rental Australia offers additional equipment for customer to win large pipe testing and inerting project.
Antwerp, Belgium – June 2015: When the Pluto Gas Plant in Western Australia asked for 23,500 cfm of supply air and Nitrogen at a purity of 95 to 97% for a large pipe testing and inerting project, Enermech immediately contacted Atlas Copco Rental Australia in Perth to see what support could be provided to supplement their own equipment.
09 Juni 2015
Atlas Copco Rental was to supply 23,500 cfm @ 25 bar which was made up with 18 Compressors. This included two Twin Air units and one 6.2m BTU Steam Boiler which made it possible for us to assist in all aspects of the project. Equipment would supply all feed air to Enermech’s own Nitrogen Membranes. The nitrogen would be then run through a heat exchanger and be super-heated by the Atlas Copco Rental Steam Boiler to be injected directly into the Gas Plant lines. Atlas Copco Rental also supplied compressor technicians and boiler operators on a 24/7 basis to support the shutdown and ensure minimal downtime if any. Following the completion of this project a frame agreement has been signed between Enermech and Atlas Copco Rental Australia for future jobs together.
The Pluto Gas Plant also has a long and sustainable relationship with Atlas Copco Rental Australia as we have a local branch situated nearby. It was certainly part of the success factor that, together with Enermech, we could use our local depot to centralize and assemble the spread before mobilizing to site.
The first half of the shutdown was a success and has been completed 2 days ahead of schedule. Rental Equipment has performed without issue and we have received positive feedback from our client.
Once again it is clear that our expertise, fleet and numerous locations plays an important role. All those factors combined gave us the competitive edge we needed to win this project.
