We were invited to the platform for an initial survey regarding the future integration, reliability & longevity of their WHRU and associated control isolation dampers. Although the existing WHRU and casings were serviceable the inlet, bypass & isolating dampers, and controls, needed a complete overhaul. Due to previous safety issues, the operators had lost confidence in the original arrangement & new dampers were therefore requested. However, since the dampers were an integral part of the WHRU, the whole WHRU had to be changed.
We consulted Alstom and agreed that we could build a new WHRU casing (under license) but this time with separate inlet, bypass & isolating dampers together with new control equipment and ancillaries. We fast tracked the design, manufacture, testing, and delivery for their summer shutdown.
Throughout the project we provided engineers for consultation & advice, supervision of the installation and commissioning. In addition to these services, we also have a maintenance contract to ensure the new units remain reliable and in good order.
