A specialist oil and gas service company in Aberdeen has launched technology to help prevent potentially disastrous power failures on offshore platforms
OEM Diesel Products, which is based at the Kirkhill Industrial Estate in Dyce, says its “pioneering” engine cleaning system is designed to stop contaminated fuel causing major problems for energy companies.
Managing director Barry Park said: “This revolutionary product comes at a time where the industry has a growing problem with fuel contamination.
“Quite often, people maintain their diesel engines but overlook the fuel they depend on to operate.
“When mains power fails, sites face severe problems and companies cannot afford any possibility that their backup power will fail too.
“Because biodiesel is so easily contaminated it is unquestionably a potential point of failure.”
He added: “By eliminating all potential fuel spoiling contaminants the new fuel-cleaning system can prevent filters becoming clogged and will stop both main and back-up generators from grinding to a halt, which will save clients time and money.”
OEM was founded in 2012 to provide a single point of contact for companies sourcing engine services or spare parts in the energy and marine services industries.
