Atlas Copco Rental assists industrial gas arena during instrumentation air outage

29 januari 2020

When one of the biggest players in the U.S. gas industry missed to arrange their pre-order rental equipment for an instrument air scheduled outage, they were in a bind – and turned to us.

Atlas Copco received a last-minute request for help from a leading single-source supplier of gases, welding equipment and supplies, and safety products in Virginia.

They needed a rental compressor package to power their instrument air during a scheduled outage. Our solution:

The ideal match: PTS 800 compressor and PHS 1000 dryer

Because the client’s product is packaged air, 100% oil-free air was critical.

Our PTS 800 is the ideal compressor, a perfect solution for smaller air needs or situations where space and lifting capabilities are limited. Together with a PHS 1000 desiccant dryer, the pairing was ideal.

The PTS 800 advantages:

  • Pressure range — 10 to 150 psi, 0.5 to 10.3 bar
  • Maximum flow — 800 cfm, 22.5 m3/min
  • Lowest emissions — Complies with the latest local emission regulations
  • Highest reliability, minimum downtime — The engine has a stunning service interval, allowing the PTS 800 to run longer without a single break.
  • Maximum fuel efficiency — Outstanding performance yields significantly lower operating cost.

We received a last minute request from a specialty gas company in Covington, VA: they had an outage scheduled for the first week of October and had simply forgotten to pre-order temporary equipment for instrument air. We were able to assemble the entire package on short notice and deliver prior to the outage start.
