The Pushoff 2000 is a safer, more efficient, and cleaner way to dislodge a stuck float valve from a fuel gas scrubber vessel.
01
Safety
A common practice among gas field operators is to strike the top of the vessel with a hammer or blunt object to free a lodged float (note the chips on the scrubber in the photo). That creates friction that could cause an explosion and fire.
Striking a vessel also jeopardizes its integrity, weakening its internal structure and strength. Striking a pressure vessel while it is under pressure is a dangerous practice.
A pressure vessel that fails can become shrapnel that can seriously injure or kill anyone nearby.
The Pushoff 2000 allows a safe and controlled release of the lodged float and removes unnecessary risk to operators and facilities.
02
Efficiency and Cost Reduction
Before the Pushoff 2000, the safest way to dislodge a float was to take apart the piping above the scrubber and push the float down with a rod. In some setups that is a complicated, time-consuming job. Reassembly can need extra service staff, which delays the restart further and adds more lost production.
In sour gas applications, the piping cannot be dismantled without additional staff and safety equipment on site.
The Pushoff 2000 helps operations staff maximize well on-line time, which means more production and revenue. It is convenient for operators and takes stress out of the job.
On top of the safety and convenience, the Pushoff 2000 will often pay for itself on its first use.
03
Environmentally Friendly
The Pushoff 2000 supports sustainable energy production by reducing hydrocarbon emissions.
Once the piping above a scrubber has been taken apart, the float can be pushed down with a rod. Doing that often causes an uncontrolled release of gas, condensate and hydrocarbons into the atmosphere.
An uncontrolled release can also contaminate personnel and equipment with flammable and toxic substances. In sub-zero temperatures it makes a significant mess and a miserable job for operations personnel.
With the Pushoff 2000 there is no need to take the piping apart. A single pull of the lever releases the stuck float, minimizing the gas released and reducing environmental contamination.
