Burckhardt overhauls compressors of LDPE line15 February 2024
Burckhardt Compression helped overhaul the compressors for an unnamed chemical company in Scandinavia that operates a (low density polyethylene) LDPE plant with two lines.
The 45-year-old Hyper and booster/primary compressors of line 2 needed to be overhauled and removed for foundation repairs. Burckhardt’s crew of 16 people on site worked in a two-shift configuration to get the compressors back in operation on time.
The customer said: “Our crew worked hand in hand with the entire Burckhardt Compression team. Thanks to the good cooperation on site and the professional preparations, we had no safety incidents, and we finished the overhaul on time.”
