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.
