No more production stops with Atlas Copco Rental’s contingency plan in place

Antwerp, Belgium, February 4, 2014: Whenever Ineos Phenol, the world’s largest producer of phenol and acetone, is in need of temporary compressed air, Atlas Copco Rental can deliver the required equipment immediately.

February 4, 2014

Atlas Copco Rental - Ineos Phenol

Following a scan of its entire plant by Atlas Copco Rental’s specialists to define the exact needs for compressed air in case of an emergency, Ineos Phenol now has a contingency plan in place and is fully prepared.

Up & running at full capacity after only 5 days

In April 2012 Atlas Copco Rental delivered 13 oil-free air compressors to counterbalance Ineos Phenol’s turbo compressor. Thanks to the contingency plan made upfront, delivery and complete set up of the installation only took 5 days.

Fuel savings

Ineos Phenol initially requested 20.000 m³/hr of 100% oil-free air delivered by diesel compressors. Further discussion between the company and Atlas Copco Rental made it clear that Ineos Phenol had 11kV - 3MW power available that could also be used. This enabled Atlas Copco Rental to offer a wider variety of equipment enabling drastic fuel savings:

  • 7 x PTE 1500 electric compressors + transformer
  • TF6300 + distribution box DB8000 + electrical cables
  • 6 x PTS916 diesel compressors + 20.000 liter & 5.500 liter fuel tanks + fuel hoses
  • air hoses and connectors

No more production stops

After 8 weeks the turbo compressor was tested and restarted. With their contingency plan in place Ineos Phenol did not need to invest in an extra turbo compressor. The factory only had 5 days of decreased phenol production, there was no complete production stop.
