System reduces refinery downtime
Destec Engineering has developed a novel system for dry cutting vessel and regenerator heads prior to replacement that reduces refinery downtime by up to 85% and produces no waste or pollution.
The pipe connectors are shock resistant and have been developed for use in adverse pressure and temperature conditions where they provide extreme leak tightness.
They are also particularly light and compact through being manufactured from high strength alloy and using minimum fluid seal areas, making them easier for divers to install.
Alan Smith, Contract Manager at Shell Expro, said: "Destec Engineering has provided us with excellent service over the past five years.
We are very pleased to be continuing our relationship with them".
"Our ability to respond quickly and efficiently to Shell's requirements was a major factor in us winning this contract", said Alistair Chadwick, Sales and Marketing Manger at Destec Engineering.
"We were also able to present a package that was very competitively priced".
The G-range pipe connectors can be manufactured in sizes from 2 to 40in and in a range of materials and coatings to suit particular environments.
They can be designed to meet ASME and other pressure vessel requirements for quick release connectors.
