Specialty Rental Application Story: Oil & Gas + Win an Apple Ipod

Want to win an Apple Ipod? See details below.

Product range:
Atlas Copco PTS 916
Application: Pipeline Services
Date: September 2008
Location: TownGas | Hong Kong
Technology: Oil-free air

Problem:
The customer is responsible for supply of gas to Hong Kong. The work carried out involved cleaning, drying and coating of the 6km under sea tie-in line from vessel to receival terminal. They required a large volume of 100% oil-free air at -40deg dew point in order to push cleaning pigs through the length of the pipeline. Once the pipeline was cleaned it was dried using -40 deg air.

The final process was to push another series of pigs through the pipeline which lined the pipe with a special coating which protected it from the gas. This process will keep the pipeline in working order for up to 6 years before the process is required to be repeated.

Solution:
The customer required 6000 cfm of air at -40deg dew point on board a barge located in the waters off Hong Kong. They also required another 1500cfm unit to be mounted in the receiving terminal to provide back pressure against the pigs to help regulate their speed - this unit was moved onboard the barge during the drying process to increase the volume of air during this time. We offered 5 PTS916 units and 5 x Desiccant Dryers to meet the customer’s requirements.

Technical solution:
4 - 5 units PTS916 + dryers set up on board barge vessel.

Added value:
The customer was able to complete their project within schedule and with minimal downtime.

The project had to be finished within a certain period of time due to the fact that the works were being carried out on the main delivery pipeline for gas into HK.

Elements of success:
We won due to our expertise and experience within the region. We were also able to offer 24/7 support to the project through our CTS department who maintained the units during the rental.

We offered 100% satisfactory solution with relatively fast transport and connection. Atlas Copco won through constant customer interaction, working with the clients to develop the layout and placement of the PTS units.

Because the project was completed without any hitches, Atlas Copco serves another satisfied customer.

Specialty Rental Application Story: Semicon + Win an Apple Ipod

Want to win an Apple Ipod?
Find out the details below.

Product Range: ZT Oil-free Compressors
Application: Instrument Air
Date: 2006 to present
Location: Honeywell | Thailand
Technology: Oil-free air


Problem:
In the year 2001, Honeywell established a new factory in Thailand for the production of Electronic Materials for Wafer Fabrication. When originally designed by a consultant, the compressed air system specified the use of an oil-injected GA 110 (1+1) with one desiccant dryer and three filters (Technically Oil-Free) for use with Painting and Pneumatics.

After two years the business expanded to using two GA 110 units + one dryer. Due to the fact that the dryer + filters were designed for use with one GA110, the result to the system was a large amount of oil in the system and a number of product defects in final QA.

Solution:
In 2006, we recommended the separation of the Painting line and Pneumatic line with the installation of one ZT 132 + FD 560 to supply the paint line, with 750 cfm at working pressure 7 bar pressure dew point +5C.

Since that time, they have had no problems with the quality of their product. Two years later, they are still renting our ZT132 Air Compressor.

Added value:
They only pay one amount for the rental fee but they have the following benefits:
- Have the fixed cost
- Get Supervisor for the compressed air system
- Get Oil-Free Air
- Zero defect of product
- 24/7 Service and Maintenance
- The rental fee can be booked as the operating cost not asset
- Save on TAX

Elements of success:
We were able to provide 100% oil free air as a total solution package for their problem. We were able to satisfy the customer so well that they now prefer to rent rather than buy.

Atlas Copco’s reputation was the primary reason why they approached Atlas Copco Specialty Rental. As the project progressed, they were thankful for our ability to react quickly to the constant changes.

Because the project was completed without any hitches, Atlas Copco serves another satisfied customer.

Nobody else but Atlas Copco can deliver this kind of security!
