Client:Offshore platform

Location:Gulf of Mexico, USA

Sectors:Oil and gas

The Challenge

Design an explosion-proof cooling system

A Gulf Coast oil platform had a critical problem with the temperature of the gas flowing into its pipelines and was having to scale back to compensate. Hot summer temperatures and a third well being brought on line were the main contributing factors. When they called us for a rapid response the temperature was already at 119°F (48.5°C) – only one degree within the safe limit of 120°F (48.9°C). Any design we came up with had to take into consideration the platform's size, high-pressure gas flow, significant power limitations, and small footprint. It also had to be explosion-proof.
