Aggreko Provides 100% Oil-Free Air for Critical
Pipeline Repair Project
The Customer Challenge
When a company found that its pipeline system that was in
service had developed leaks, immediate attention was required.
After contracting an inspection company to determine the severity
of the problem, it was decided that the pipeline would be repaired
and relined in place using sub surface equipment.
This was a delicate and critical process that
required a clean consistent flow of compressed air while the lining
was applied. The contractor that was called in to perform the
repairs has previously worked with Aggreko on many successful
projects and therefore requested that Aggreko be included in the
development of the solution.
The Aggreko Solution
The contractor knew from past experience that
Aggreko could deliver 100% oil free air. Incorporating desiccant
dryers into the system ensured there would be no moisture related
contamination issues in the pipeline.
Compressed air specialists at Aggreko
determined that the application would require two
diesel-driven oil-free
air compressor rentals, coupled with regenerative
desiccant
rental air dryers.
The Benefit to the Customer
The owner of the pipeline was the benefactor
of a quick turnaround and quality solution that helped return the
pipeline to service.
