Technical support for reservoir check

 In the spring of 2017, PSKOVTEHGAZ® introduced a new service: One of the types of tank technical inspection is based on the application of the acoustic mission method. As is known, the technical inspection shall be carried out by a licensed expert company but crimping and evacuation of large-capacity tanks requires special equipment which can be provided by PSKOVTEHGAZ®.

In April-May 2017, two hydrogen tankers of Air Product were checked for micro-destructions: Our company managed to create all conditions requested by the client in accordance with the European safety requirements for carrying out such work:

1. Pressure control in the discharge line with equipment shutdown when the maximum values are exceeded.
2. Discharged gas temperature control with equipment shutdown when thresholds are exceeded.
3. Provision of necessary control and safety valves for the discharge line.
4. Provision of documentary evidence for the security of operations.
