New skid ready for British shelf
A new skid from Tratec Halvorsen with two large filters is on its way out to the Seagull field outside Aberdeen.
- Work began in the workshop before Christmas last year. There is a skid with coils, pressure tanks and valves. It will be used to purify seawater, says project manager Kurt Ivar Ramsli.
The dimensions of the ski are 2560 x 2100 x 3500 millimetres, and it weighs 3700 kilos.
The installation was completed this summer, and was then transported west. It currently stands in Peterhead, a town north of Aberdeen. But the final destination is a platform on the Seagull field.
Tratec Halvorsen's customer is Veolia. But the end customer is BP in Great Britain.
- It is important to show ourselves off to the school pupils
First-year students from Flekkefjord upper secondary school were given a thorough introduction to what it is like to be an apprentice at Tratec Halvorsen.
The square tank ready for testing
The first of the six tanks for the new Hugin A platform will soon be ready in the workshop.
