CAT C18 based Clarke FWP start systems

SCOTT Utility Upgrade & Firewater
The "SCOTT Utility Upgrade & Firewater" project is a major brownfield engineering and rejuvenation program for Brunei Shell Petroleum (BSP) offshore assets. Managed by the global energy services firm Wood, the project is part of a multi-million-dollar, long-term contract to upgrade critical firewater systems, utility platforms, and core infrastructure across BSP's fields in the South China Sea.  

Hatraco has been awarded an order for the delivery of 2x hydraulic start system to provide backup start energy for Caterpillar C18 based Clarke driven Firewater pump. As per NFPA-20 requirements for a secondary start system, the start system provides the minimum of 6 times of 15 seconds of start duration. By means of pre-set pressure values, the hydraulic start system is automatically recharged by means of an electric motor driven recharge pump. The recharging cycle is managed by pressure transmitters in combination with a local control panel.
