CAT C32 Clarke FWP Air start system

Sahil Phase 3 Development Project
The Sahil Phase 3 Development Project is an ongoing multi-million dollar expansion in Abu Dhabi led by ADNOC Onshore. It aims to boost the Sahil oil field's crude capacity and significantly expand its associated gas handling capability, targeting a crude oil output of 114,000 barrels per day (bpd).  

Hatraco has been awarded a contract for the supply of one Air Start System to provide backup starting energy for a Clarke firewater pump powered by a Caterpillar C32 engine. In line with NFPA-20 requirements for a secondary starting system, the unit is capable of delivering a minimum of six starting attempts of 15 seconds each. The system is automatically recharged by an electrically driven recharge pump based on pre-set pressure values, while the recharge cycle is monitored and controlled by pressure transmitters in combination with a local control panel.
