FFP™; unique design, proven technology
The Free Floating Piston (FFP™) has long proven itself. Thomassen invented and marketed this special piston in 1998 and has built quite a reference list ever since.
Howden Thomassen India, supported by Thomassen headquarters in the Netherlands, and Nagarjuna Oil Corporation Limited (NOCL) in India have concluded an agreement to revamp two Thomassen C-45.2 compressors.
Relocation
Both compressors were relocated by NOCL from Germany to Cuddalore, India, in 1999, together with a fully functional Mobil Oil Refinery. A change in process conditions now require a revamp.
Scope of supply
NOCL
NOCL started erecting the refinery in 2006. Once completed, it will refine 6 million metric tons of crude petroleum per annum. Besides LPG and Bitumen, NOCL will also produce Euro IV & V auto fuels.
