Hazardous area mobile power solutions for the oil and gas industry will be the focus on Pyroban’s stand, number 3A50, at SPE Offshore Europe Conference and Exhibition 2013 in Aberdeen, Scotland, from 3-6 September.

A detailed scale model of a Pyroban powerpack, suitable for safe operation in Zone 2 hazardous areas, will be displayed on the stand to show how Pyroban systems eliminate the risk of explosion from hot surfaces, sparks, overspeed and other hazards. Real-life application case study examples, showing Pyroban systems ‘in situ’, will also be featured on the stand.

“We manufacture and supply explosion protection up-fit kits for almost any size and brand of engine” says Mark Jackson, Business Manager from Pyroban. “Current projects in our factories include Cummins, Perkins, John Deere, Volvo, Detroit, MTU and Caterpillar brands.”

“Offshore Europe provides the opportunity for us to show visitors how it is possible to retrofit explosion protection to engines onsite” says Gary Smith, Business Development Manager – Oil and Gas, Pyroban. “Many companies believe it is necessary to purchase a new engine in order to protect engines and equipment against the risk of an explosion, or that the conversion must take place offsite. Through our ‘hazardous area mobile power’ message, we are highlighting that Pyroban can retrofit existing engines and that trained engineers can fit equipment anywhere, which also helps to reduce transport costs.”

Pyroban systems include exhaust gas coolers, inlet shut-off valves, spark and flame arrestors and other explosion proof components.

Some of these components manufactured by Pyroban Group companies will also be on display. Components include switches, and transmitters, as well as the silicon thermal barrier suitable for oil and gas applications.

Specialists will also be available on the stand to discuss Pyroban’s hazardous area Consulting and Training services and the global support network.

“Offshore Europe provides a valuable opportunity to engage with new and existing customers and to learn about new projects within the oil and gas sector,” adds Mark Jackson. “It also enables us to listen to customers’ issues and discuss solutions, whilst demonstrating what explosion protection with Pyroban means.”

Pyroban also supplies complete explosion proof mobile power packages and converts forklifts and mobile equipment for use in hazardous areas. Pyroban is exhibiting at Offshore Europe 2013 with the Energy Industries Council, the leading Trade Association and not-for-profit organisation with a membership of over 670 UK –registered companies, who deliver goods and services to the energy industries worldwide.
