Having a market advantage is a huge goal for most companies especially during market down turns. Often times a company may have such an advantage and not know it, or at least not know how to capitalize on such opportunities. One market segment that Precision Pipe excels at and enjoys is building Dew Point Processing Plants also know as refrigeration plants, NGL, or Natural Gas Liquids Plants. What sets Precision Pipe & Vessel aside from our competitors is we have many different approaches to building gas processing equipment that other fabricators don’t consider or offer to their customers.
Our approaches include remanufacturing used equipment in a quality manner giving the appearance the equipment is new (often times it is as good as new). We also painstakingly examine and inspect each mechanical component to ensure reliability and give estimated time before component overhaul. We also build complete brand new plants from the skid up. All of our products are turn key with complete instrumentation and piping interconnect as specified by each customer. As soon as the plant has been connected to utilities and the associated site piping our systems are ready to be started up and turned over to operations.
Our most recent gas plants have taken yet another approach that provide the longevity and the associated technology of new and modern Gas Plants yet maintain the cost savings of remanufactured equipment. Recently we have assembled a plant that used brand new wear components such as a refrigeration compressor, glycol pumps, instrumentation, heat exchangers, and other moving components. However, we created substantial saving to our client by using ASME pressure vessels and a glycol re-boiler off of used equipment. We simply identified vessels in our inventory and evaluated condition and specification according to the refrigeration plant. Next, we transplanted the vessels onto the new skid and re-registered the vessels with the National Board. This process cut months out of the fabrication schedule and reduced the cost of the plant by nearly 30% for our customer.
When it was all said and done we shipped a modern gas plant to our customer complete with computerized controls and modern instrumentation at a greatly reduced cost. We were also informed by our customer that our delivery was several months quicker then the next best offer. As it stands today the plant has operated for nearly a year with no shut downs and only routine maintenance performed. This has become a good case study for cutting costs and improving our customers ROI by using creative and alternative fabrication techniques.
Precision Pipe and it’s staff has fabricated nearly 100 NGL plants over the last 30 years that are operating in various locations in North and South America. We have developed a reputation for finding good quality used equipment, rebuilding our customers antiquated systems, and building brand new equipment to operate in todays modern gas fields.
