RTS cleaning systems for ONGC offshore platforms

After being chosen as the successful bidder on technical merit and price against an open tender to supply the Oil and Natural Gas Corp of India (ONGC) with compressor cleaning systems for its offshore gas turbines RTS has delivered on time and on-price all the equipment for the first platform.

The ONGC contract was awarded on the basis of a turnkey project involving the supply, installation and commissioning of atomising injection nozzle systems for 7 x Rolls Royce RB211gas turbines and a sophisticated, fully automated wash skid to serve all five GT’s. The skid is also complete with its own integral reverse osmosis system to generate the pure water needed for the compressor cleaning process. The entire system was designed and certified for hazardous area use.

The turnkey project was originally planned for completion this year but due to delays resulting from the monsoon season and later production priorities final commissioning of the automated cleaning systems will now take place in early 2009. This oil and gas production platform is the first of 10 to be installed and is located offshore Mumbai.
