Common applications of petrochemical and refining plant maintenance services
- Temporary substation energy and temporary transformers, supporting effective electrical distribution for shutdown maintenance management. This allows you to reduce disruption when your equipment encounters issues or you need to bring energy to new areas.
- Energy for tank farms and tank farm maintenance, using generators and electrical distribution equipment to store raw and refined product safely. Our process engineers can help you design a turnkey energy solution, supporting equipment like oil-free compressors, heaters, and air conditioners, which we also provide.
- Construction trailer energy, using our batteries to operate temporary trailer facilities including offices and operations centers for projects.
- Comfort cooling for worker safety and productivity, using our comprehensive fleet of cooling solutions including air conditioners, cooling towers, and more. Our experts will design a complete solution that helps you keep people safe, stay compliant with health and safety requirements, and maintain timelines even when ambient temperatures rise.
- Ventilation for confined spaces, so you can provide fresh, clean air to your workers using air conditioners and other ancillary equipment. Our ventilation solutions can also combine with heating or cooling to maintain optimal conditions and meet regulatory requirements, even during temperature control maintenance.
