The blower was originally re-built and commissioned by Kemostal back in  2013. After 7 years in the field the customer took the decision to perform an overhaul in order to repair and restore the reliability of the machine. 

A typical overhaul for such machine consists of replacing all five bearings and mechanical seals as well as all elastomers and other wear parts.

Prior to the re-assembly all parts was painted with a NORSOK M-501 coating system with the top coat being manually applied due to customer urgency requirements.

The blower was then installed and commissioned by Kemostal service engineers Niklas and Cesar.

Kemostål has secured a contract for the supply of a blower skid to a new customer in Norway. The project marks the start of a new cooperation and further opportunities on the Norwegian market in upcoming years. 

The PD blower is the biggest ever supplied by Kemostål to date with its rated capacity of more than 30.000 m3/h, 600 mbar differential pressure and impressive 20” 150# flanges. The unit is driven by a 560 kW electric motor and supported by a soft start system.

Scope of work includes engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning of a brand new blower skid for continuous operation in a challenging industrial climate. Kemostål’s commissioning team will be on-site in Norway towards the later parts of the year, to supervise the installation and eventually perform a SAT (Site Acceptance Test) of the finalized package.

The blower is put on the market with an unmatched time between overhaul (TBO) rating to achieve excellent operating and maintenance cost for the end-user.
