Atlas Copco Specialty Rental wins 100 per cent oil-free compressor rental award for a new LNG plant in Indonesia.
Atlas Copco Specialty Rental has been awarded the contract to supply two PTS 916 100 per cent oil-free air compressors and a RDH 1550 desiccant dryer for a 24/7 operation at a new LNG plant in Indonesia.
Both units will operate alternatively to support testing and commissioning of a two train LNG processing plant; with each train having a capacity of 3.8 million tones per annum (MTPA).
With both compressors installed in March 2008 commissioning of the train is expected to take up to 12 months.
Supporting the rental award Atlas Copco Specialty Rental has also supplied three operators to operate and maintain the rental units 24/7 to ensure trouble-free operation and total customer satisfaction.
Both PTS 916 oil free compressors and desiccant dryer were shipped from Atlas Copco Specialty Rental’s Asian hub operation in Singapore.
The PTS 916 compressors provide 100 per cent oil free operation with a free air delivery (fad) of 37.4 m3/min (2.24 cfm) at 10.3 bar (150 psi).
The PT series is the first range of oil-free compressor to be TÜV certified ISO 8573-1 Class 0.
Certification was recently carried out by TÜV using the most stringent test methods available, simulating both average and severe industrial environments.
At all test conditions no traces of oil could be determined and the compressed air was certified to be in the category ‘Class 0’ in terms of total oil content.
The PTS 916’s form part of a fleet of oil-free and high pressure oil-injected air compressors held in the Singapore ‘yard’ of Atlas Copco Specialty Rental; with according to Regional Manager Matt LeCornu , the 100 per cent oil-free PTS 916 being the most in demand.
The operation provides the hub for its Asian activities with customer centers in Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines.
