Safe Air Technology has just completed delivery of our VPACPB- Series (Vertical Package Air –Conditioner / Pressurization Blower) units for Shell Offshore. All units are now serving the Shell Platform “Salsa” . The project was an exciting project for according to David Ratcliff, President and CEO of Safe Air Technology. After meeting with Shell and Nelson Engineering it was apparent that the Salsa Platform would required several custom units to not only combat the hazardous and very corrosive environments, but that the units would need to fit into locations that were restricted in size. Compounding the issue was the urgent need for an aggressive delivery time to meet Shells demands.
Understanding that all units would require a fully custom design from the mechanical, refrigeration and electrical, Safe Air assigned a Professional Engineering Manager to the project to oversee all of Shell’s needs. The equipment was delivered 100% On Time and is running a peak performance for Shell.
One of many things that allows us to deliver on time for our clients such as Shell is a clear understanding of our clients Electrical inspectors requirements. We have a saying at Safe Air Technology, “ There is the NEC Electrical Code under NFPA 70 Article 500 to 515, and then there is Shells requirements”. By SAT fully understanding what our clients expect, Safe Air Technology is able to not just engineer and manufacture to a code, but to exceed that code based on what our clients find acceptable to them. That is our goal and one that we excel at.
