Macel Plin Products
PLEXOR®
The functionality of the main components of the pressure regulation station is carefully tested using the portable PLEXOR® device, which is easy to operate. The PLEXOR® device is connected to the pressure regulation station using specially designed system connectors that are permanently installed in the pressure regulation stations (BMA05, BMA06, and BDA06 for PN100. BMA04, BMA10, and BDA10 for PN16).
The main feature of the PLEXOR inspection system is its ability to significantly reduce methane emissions during the functional inspection and maintenance of gas pressure regulation stations.
KPPP: Compressor unit for natural gas pumping
The compressor unit transfers natural gas from the pipeline and prevents its release into the atmosphere during maintenance, repairs, or construction work. Instead, the gas is redirected to the same or neighboring pipeline, preserving the environment.
This fully integrated system, mounted on a heavy steel frame and fixed on a semitrailer, represents the most advanced solution for handling natural gas. Its plug-and-play design and advanced gas recovery system improve operational efficiency and set a new standard for environmentally responsible industrial practices.
Works on the gas pipeline without interruption of supply
The pigging process is utilized to perform pipeline operations without causing any disruptions to the supply. Pigging includes hot tapping work and creating a bypass line for gas flow.
