Datacenter: fuel supply system for 6 generators

970 886 Flipo Richir

On behalf of a Data Center, we have performed several services: Engineering, construction, on-site installation, commissioning of a fuel supply system for 6 generators 

This supply system consists of 2 containers equipped with fuel pumps with redundancy circuits. They have a capacity of 8000l/h each pumping in 4 tanks of 120m3 with 30m of altitude difference.

The equipments integrate the management automation with HMI of the whole.

Neutralization operations of old transformers within the framework of our MASE approach

1024 768 Flipo Richir

Flipo-Richir is also involved in the destruction of specific equipment for the steel industry. We apply all environmental rules and integrated procedures as part of our MASE approach. 

Here, on behalf of a major customer in the steel industry, we manage the neutralisation operations of their former transformers, before shipment to a waste recycling centre.

Transformers are drained of their oil on site using an approved process. This oil will be recycled for future use. The oil recycling operation consists of filtering the contaminants present in the oil. It is then processed to regain a quality that makes it usable again as a dielectric.

In France, waste oil collected today represents nearly 210,000 tonnes per year. The active parts are recycled for metal recovery, copper in particular.

The circular economy is one of the fundamentals of industrial maintenance companies. The aim is to reduce the environmental impact by taking into account the entire life cycle of the equipment.

Manufacturing process of cycle construction
For one of our customers, we have performed several services between the supply, installation and commissioning of a 22KVA generator.
This makes it possible to strengthen autonomy on their site in the Hauts de France.
Thus, from 10 KVA to 4500 KVA unit, the same care is given to the installations carried out.
