Supercharge Multiple Operations with Atlas Copco Rental's Air, Nitrogen and Power Fleets
In power plants, compressed air is the backbone of critical operations - supporting everything from precision instrumentation to turbine maintenance - ensuring smooth and efficient performance. Just as essential are nitrogen and power, especially in environments where even brief interruptions can jeopardize grid stability, operational continuity, and safety.
So what happens when your air compressor or power source breaks down? Unplanned equipment failures can stall operations across entire job sites. That's where we come in.
Atlas Copco Specialty Rental delivers a complete solution: from oil-free and oil-injected air compressors to nitrogen generators and robust power generators — all engineered for fast deployment, reliability, and performance. We are at the forefront of meeting your industrial demands, helping you minimize downtime risk, and ensuring operation continuity.
Peak Load Shaving
During peak demand periods, peak load shaving becomes critical to ensure system stability and avoid overloading your primary power infrastructure. By supplementing your existing capacity with rental generators, you can relieve pressure on your main equipment, prevent overheating, and maintain consistent output. Failure to manage peak loads effectively can result in increased wear and tear, costly equipment failures, and even forced outages: all of which can compromise your plant's reliability and profitability.
Emergency Power Supply
Unexpected power disruptions in power plants can trigger major operational risks — from equipment damage to grid instability and loss of supply to end-users. In facilities where uptime is critical and demand is constant, even a brief outage can lead to cascading failures, regulatory non-compliance, increased complaints and financial penalties. When reliability is on the line, unstable power simply isn't an option.
That's why having a dependable backup power plan is essential. Plan ahead and stay ready with our rental generators, so you can maintain grid stability, meet peak demands, and keep your operations running, no matter what.
Ash Handling and Boiler Soot Blowing
Ash handling involves the removal and transport of combustion byproducts like bottom and fly ash, while soot blowing clears soot buildup from boiler tubes to preserve heat transfer efficiency. Although these are distinct processes in a power plant, both are related to the management of combustion byproducts and maintenance of boiler cleanliness, and typically rely on compressed air and nitrogen. Without a reliable supply, these systems can experience blockages, heat losses, or unplanned shutdowns — posing substantial risks to plant performance and environmental compliance.
Turbine Maintenance
Regardless of the type of power plants, turbines remain as a key component in the process. From steam to water to gas turbines, maintenance work is inevitable for safety, efficiency, and longevity of the turbine. During these works, contamination of moisture and oil-particles may result in blockages, oxidation and corrosion, and pose safety and fire hazards in high temperature environment. Overall, these contaminants can affect the performance of the turbine, leading to inefficiencies and lower power output, resulting in higher operational costs at reduced productivity and reliability. To tackle such risks, it is curcial to have the right oil-free compressed air supply coupled with high purity nitrogen for a safe maintenance procedure.
Precision Instrumentation
Instrumentations like pressure transmitters, flow meters, temperature sensors and more help power plants keep things in regulation and ensures everything is in order for optimal performance. When oil or contaminants is present in the air, it can clog or damage these sensitive instruments, leading to inaccurate readings or system failures. It may also introduce more wear and tear on components, shortening their lifespans. Oil-free air is critical to prevent these challenges, ensuring optimal performances of these instrumentation.
Control Systems and Actuators
Power Plants rely on different control systems to automate and manage plant operations, controlling specific processes like pneumatic actuators and valves, ensuring efficiency and safety is observed. Without reliable clean air supply, systems as such can experience delayed or inaccurate responses, compromising safety functionalities and lead to hazardous situations. Contaminants in the air can affect such systems and actuators, resulting in the need to replace parts and have more maintenance work done more often.
Other challenges faced by the power plant industry can also include:
