When Hurricane Rita Hit, Aggreko Cooling Tower Services Provided an  Emergency Solution

 

Customer challenge

When a major chemicals facility along the Texas gulf coast lost two permanent cooling towers to Hurricane Rita, they needed a large-scale temporary solution to keep operating while permanent systems were rebuilt.

Aggreko solution

To provide a quick turnaround, Aggreko got the manpower and equipment to the customer’s site and began installation.

Two deployments were required to meet the customer’s needs during reconstruction of its permanent systems:

  • 10 x 1000 ton cooling towers and five pumps to handle 20,000 gallons of cooling water.
  • 1 x 5800 ton, four-pump installation to handle 15,000 gallons of cooling tower water.

Installation of these temporary towers allowed the customer to bring the plant back online while the permanent tower was being re-built.

Aggreko’s emergency response enabled the plant to startup sooner than anticipated, delivering everything they promised in a safe and professional manner.
