The platform operator required a 20% increase in the performance of the wet gas compressor aftercooler with no additional plot space available and a restriction on maximum lift capacity of 8 tonnes.

Jord undertook thermal simulation and designed a unit that could offer increased duty within the plot space and weight limitations by increasing the number of tube rows from 6 to 9, split bundle design, changing material from CS to lighter duplex stainless steel and optimizing fan and drive.

Jord provided a replacement air cooler that provided a 21% increase in duty and performance with a maximum individual component weight of 7.7 tonnes which could be installed within the same plot area as the original equipment utilizing the cranes installed and available on the platform.
