4 MMSCFD Refrigeration Plant – Viking AB

Issue

Our client had a J-T choke plant with two large 1970’s compressors running at 15% capacity. The cost of maintenance and operations of the entire facility was very high and starting to take a toll on the client’s finances.

Solution

Reef installed a refrigeration plant in the client’s upstream gas facility and then decommissioned the J-T plant and compressors. Ceasing the operation and maintenance of the facility translated into cost savings upwards of $600,000. Not only that, by shutting down and reclaiming an entire lease, Reef saved our client all the expenses associated with all future tax and landowner payments.

Reef Advantage

Reef sourced and refurbished a very cost effective surplus refrigeration gas plant in NW Alberta. Refrigeration plant upgrades included designing and programming a new PLC, changing out the refrig compressor motor for a natural gas engine, and converting all electrical components to single phase. We then installed the facility at the customer’s compressor station 5 kms upstream.
