As ever environmental issues are constantly on the agenda here at Saftronics. With this in mind, we are developing a carbon calculator in order to help our customers determine our motor control centre’s carbon footprint for their projects.

Inside Energy have covered our latest case study for an oil and gas MCC replacement program in their March issue.

With the constant need to reduce operating costs and increase output, the oil and gas industry requires more than usual from their Motor Control Centres (MCCs). Saftronics have a long history of working with both gas and oil facilities. While the manufacturing of the MCC is not necessarily demanding, the installation of them can be. Downtime can have obviously have a serious effect on output, but can also affect health and safety and general operations. The team at Saftronics are experts at finding solutions, and installing MCCs, Control Panels and LV Switchboards in difficult locations and high-pressure environments.

We have been awarded a further contract for two more smart Motor Control Centre’s (MCC’s) for vessels used in the oil industry off Brazil.  This follows on from a successful project in the second quarter of last year to a client that has a fleet of floating production storage and offloading vessels (FPSO) that need fitting with the new MCCs. Our client is active in sectors including petrochemicals, oil, natural gas, electricity, chemical-gas and biofuel.

MCCs, often used in industrial and large commercial buildings, are an assembly to control separate electric motors from a central location such as a machine room. FPSOs are widely used in the global oil and gas sector, to moor near offshore drilling rigs so that the oil tankers do not have to sail too close while loading. The challenge with this type of application is that space is at a premium and downtime must be kept to a minimum.

Saftronics are experienced in operating within these constraints and our compact, bespoke design is ideal for these challenging environments.
