Wellhead Control Panels – Instrumentation
- The wellhead control panel allows the operator to actuate the Valves at the wellheads.   
- There are several measuring points piped from the wellhead to the control panel.
- There is a big need for our Valves, Fittings and Tubing.
- Our standard range is made of Stainless Steel 316L.
- Valves which will comply with the NACE specification can be manufactured on request.


Wellhead Control Panels – Pressure test
After the assembly, the unit has to be pressure tested.
This can be realized with:
- water (visual test or pressure drop): pumps
- Air (pressure drop): Air amplifiers
- Gas e.g. Helium (pressure drop or sniffle test): Gas boosters

Wellhead Control Panels - Pressure generation
To operate the Valves at the wellheads, inside or outside of the control panels, air driven pumps are needed to generate the required pressure.
Our PUMPS generate the pressure and hold the pressure without generating heat and without risk of lame or sparks.

Lifeboats
Lifeboats are inflated automatically with gas, when they are in contact with water. The small cylinders are filled with nitrogen or with liquid gas like CO2 or with a mixture of these gases. Within standard periods the pressure and the function of the cylinders have to be tested. In case of pressure drop, the cylinders have to be refilled. The cylinders have to be pressure tested after a certain period of time too according to the nationally valid directives.

Diving
The station is used to fill dive cylinders with oxygen for Closed Circuit Rebreathers up to 300 bar. NITROX gas is very often used for professional diving. Our GAS BOOSTER’s and ROB Series Booster allow to „top up“ Gas cylinders with Nitrogen or Oxygen to create the required mixture.

Bolt tensioning
Hydraulic wrenches or hydraulic nuts are used for bolt tensioning. Our pumps are used to generate the required oil pressure without electric power.

Helicopters
The cylinders to inflate the pop floats have to be tested and recharged regularly. The cylinders to inflate the pop floats have to be tested and recharged regularly.

Diesel Starter
Diesel Engines are often started with compressed air. The required air volume is stored in a 40 bar receiver. MAXIMATOR Air Amplifiers generate the pressure.

Hydraulic Pressure Testing: Leak tests, Burst tests, Pulse tests.


Pressure Gauge Calibrating
Pumps and hydraulic units are used to build up the pressure for gauge calibrating.

Chart Recorder Unit
The chart recorder unit in portable stainless steel frame design is suitable for mobile applications.

Fire Protection Systems
Boosters are used for rapid and precise filling of HALON extinguishers and other fire protection systems.

Fire Protection Equipment Testing
pumps and boosters are used to build up the pressure for hydrostatic tests.

Water fog systems
High pressure water fog systems work in a high pressure range (up to 200 bar) and generate a fog of ultra-small droplets. This is done with big electrical pumps.

Drill Rod Leak Test
boosters generate the test pressure, up to 1,300 bar (18,850 psi) for a Nitrogen/Helium mixture.

Chemical Injection / Metering
Chemicals are metered in all phases of the production, processing, refining, transmission and distribution of oil and gas products.

Wet Sand Blasting
For small particle blasting of metal structures, pipelines, oil platforms and oil rig support vessels.
To prepare the surface for repair, painting, cleaning and rust removal.

Hydraulic line flushing
Pumps generate the pressure to flush hydraulic lines and also to clean the medium after being used.

Electric Circuit Breaker
Air Driven Gas Boosters are used to charge accumulators on circuit breakers with nitrogen or SF6.

Mechanical Seals
Pumps, Amplifiers and Boosters are used as pressure intensifier for mechanical seals.

NACE Booster
Booster can also be driven by sour gas (modification required).
