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.
