AIS provides winterisation solution for sewage treatment plant

Our client, a sewage treatment plant in Litchfield, required winterisation of pipework and valves to ensure their smooth operation during the approaching winter months. The concern was that when left unprotected, the pipes would freeze, and ice would cause them to expand, potentially leading to costly repair work and extensive downtime. Both insulating and weather resistant, AIS ContraFlex® jackets were chosen as the ideal solution for protecting essential equipment from the elements.

PFP helps maintain operations in the Arctic

Operating in arctic temperatures, our customer has three gravity-based structures (GBS) with LNG and condensate storage in the hull. Each structure needed protection to ensure it would remain operational and exceed health and safety requirements. We recommended that the GBS have winterisation and acoustic protection that met fire and blast criteria and would exceed health and safety requirements.

CASE STUDY

Multi-national O&G company see savings with AIS jackets

A multi-national oil and gas company tasked Phoenix Compact Valves (PCV) and Total Control Systems (TCS) to provide a skid package requiring various valves supplied with personal protection insulation. TCS approached our ContraFlex® team to provide support and technical expertise for the insulation on the skid package, located in the Campeche Bay off the coast of Mexico.

Highlights

Development

Our team used 3D modelling software to tailor the jackets to the skid package prior to shipment and installation

Design

The jackets have been tested in highly challenging environments to ensure their durability and suitability in external settings. This is all thanks to a waterproof outer cloth and water shedding design

Installation

The jackets were fitted to the manifold assembly before being sent to the offshore facility. Such an approach resulted in little to no modification

Reduced maintenance and installation costs provided

By installing to the manifold assembly before sending to the offshore facility we delivered a cost-effective solution. This was without the need for specialised insulation contractors on the offshore facility. As a result, we were able to support PCV and TCS to save labour and installation costs as well as meeting the quick turnaround times required.

Other highlights

Our bespoke jackets were designed and optimized for use in congested areas with clash points within the required insulated skid package. This project was filled with challenging moments that ContraFlex® confronted and overcame in a professional manner. The quick turnaround was praised by PCV, with Tommy Russo, Senior Project Manager saying "I would like to express my total satisfaction with the ContraFlex® team who helped on our production manifold. We will be consulting AIS on all of our future jobs."
