56-off compact actuators for Statoil Gullfaks C
Launch date: September 2014
Partner: Aker/Statoil
Location: Gullfaks C
For the Statoil Gullfaks C platform Spacx Actuators & Controls was selected to deliver the actuators with control panels. Because of the limited available space on the platform the Spacx compact actuators were selected. The control panel consists of filter regulators, gauges and solenoids. Also a limit switch is included to each actuator. These BCS actuators are coated with Norsok M501 system 1.
Pneumatic BCX50 actuator
Launch date: July 2014
Location: Gas treatment plant Nearshore
For a MRO project for a natural gas plant we have supplied pneumatic stainless steel 316 spring return actuators, fitted with a limit switch box. These actuators are assembled, adjusted and tested to several 2”-300# ballvalves from Spacx. There was no coating system required due to the corrosive resistant materials used and the fast track delivery of 4 weeks.
Hydraulic SS316 actuator
Launch date: June 2014
Location: North sea
Due to a unwanted situation with some heavily corroded carbon steel actuators with carbon steel ty-bars holding the spring together, Spacx A&C have produced several replacement hydraulic spring return actuators to an offshore platform on the North sea.
Rotary actuators, Statoil Mariner Project
Launch date: April 2014
Partners: Vest Ventil
Location: Statoil Norway, Mariner field nearby Shetland Islands.
The actuators we produced for this project are an integral part of the valve and are supplied as such together with our partner BSM Valves. The assembly is made of RVS316 and therefore didn’t require any coating. No control system was required. The total scope consisted of eight BCX30 actuators with valves, fail closed.
