The Client
- Industry: Oil & Gas
- Location: Australia Wide
- Type of Facility: Mobile / Multi-Site Application
A client operating within the industrial tank cleaning sector required a transportable nitrogen generation system capable of supporting large-scale oil vat cleaning operations across multiple sites.
CW Electrical & Automation was appointed as the electrical and automation delivery partner, responsible for complete system design, PLC automation development, control cabinet manufacturing, integration, testing, commissioning, and coordination of mechanical installation activities.
The Operational Challenge
The project required the development of a reliable nitrogen generation system capable of operating across multiple industrial environments while remaining fully transportable for redeployment between sites.
Because the system would support critical cleaning and inerting operations, reliability, operational simplicity, and long-term serviceability were key project requirements. The automation platform also needed to integrate seamlessly with mechanical systems while maintaining stable operation in demanding field conditions.
In addition to the technical requirements, the project involved coordinating electrical, automation, and mechanical scopes simultaneously to ensure efficient delivery, commissioning, and future deployment flexibility.
Objectives
The client required:
- Complete electrical and automation design
- PLC programming and control system development
- Custom control cabinet build
- Coordination of mechanical installation
- A transportable system suitable for deployment across multiple regions
- Reliable, long-term operational performance
Our Solution
CW managed the project from concept to commissioning, delivering:
- Custom PLC program and automation logic
- Design and construction of a dedicated control cabinet
- Full system wiring, integration, and testing
- Coordination and management of mechanical installation
- A transportable system architecture designed for ease of relocation and redeployment
The system was engineered for reliability, serviceability, and consistent performance across varied operating environments.
Key Client Benefits
- Turnkey automation and project management delivery
- Custom PLC-controlled nitrogen generation system
- Transportable, multi-site capable design
- Reliable long-term performance
- Reduced project complexity through single-point responsibility
- Ongoing client confidence and satisfaction
The Result
The nitrogen generator was successfully commissioned and has been operating reliably on site for over two years.
The transportable design allows the system to be deployed across Australia and the Pacific region as required, providing operational flexibility and long-term value.
The client remains highly satisfied with system performance and delivery outcomes.
