Pushoff 2000
Safe and Efficient Float Release Device
The Push Off 2000 is designed for fuel gas scrubbers or vessels where there is potential for a float to become lodged internally. The tool enables the operator to safely and efficiently release the float from the scrubber outlet.
Pushoff 2000 Benefits
-
Safety
The Pushoff 2000 was designed as a safe method to dislodge a float valve from a scrubber vessel. In the past, operators would strike the vessels with a hammer to dislodge the float, damaging them and risking a spark in volatile workplaces.
-
Efficiency
The Pushoff 2000 is an efficient way to dislodge a stuck float. With the pull of a lever the float will release and production can continue as normal. Minimize downtime with the Pushoff 2000.
-
Eco-Friendly
The Pushoff 2000 was designed with the environment in mind. If a float becomes lodged and the scrubber has to be disassembled, releasing the float often results in an uncontrolled release of hydrocarbons into the atmosphere.
Why was the Pushoff 2000 Created?
For years, fuel gas scrubbers have been used in the oil and gas industry as a means of enabling production gas to be used as fuel gas at the well site. Fuel gas is used for a variety of purposes: operating line heaters; thermal gas generators (TEGs); powering compressor engines; operating pneumatic and pressure controls etc. The design and mechanical operation of the scrubbers has not changed significantly throughout their history. Each unit is equipped with an internal float (high level shut-off valve). The purpose of the float is to shut off the supply of fuel gas when the liquid level in the scrubber exceeds a threshold level. Liquid carry over can cause tremendous damage to instrumentation equipment as well as creating an explosive environment
Although innovative float configurations have been developed, impurities in the production gas such as moisture, asphaltanes and wax parraffins can cause the float to become lodged in the fuel gas scrubber outlet. Freeing the lodged float can be inconvenient, dangerous and result in significant down time (lost gas/oil production & lost revenue).
