The importance of quick opening closures in the Oil & Gas sector
In the Oil & Gas industry, quick opening closures play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and operational efficiency of plants. These devices allow fast and safe access to tanks, pipelines and other industrial infrastructure without compromising the integrity of the plant. Their function is particularly relevant in critical applications, such as in the recovery and storage of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), where the safe handling of fluids is essential to avoid risks of explosion or leakage.
Quick disconnects are designed to withstand high pressures, extreme conditions and intensive duty cycles. One of the main features of these solutions is their ability to drastically reduce downtime, enabling fast and uncomplicated maintenance. In an oil and gas plant, even a small outage can result in high costs and safety risks. High-quality quick shutdowns, such as those provided by QOC Solutions, not only help minimise these risks, but also improve overall operational efficiency.
The use of quick opening closures allows operators to intervene quickly and safely, facilitating access to plants for inspections and technical interventions. In high-risk industries such as Oil & Gas, the reliability of quick opening closures is a key factor in ensuring continuous and safe operation, protecting not only the equipment, but also the environment and the personnel involved.
The LPG recovery system project in Sapele
The Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) recovery system implemented at Sapele, Nigeria, is an important initiative to reduce energy waste and improve industrial process efficiency. In a context where the management of LPG requires reliable and safe solutions, the Sapele plant stands out for the adoption of innovative technologies aimed at recovering resources that would otherwise be wasted, while also contributing to the reduction of polluting emissions.
QOC Solutions collaborated on this project managed by the Nigerian company Seplat by supplying custom-made vertical quick opening closures specifically designed to withstand the plant’s critical operating conditions. With these closures, the LPG recovery system is able to operate safely and efficiently, minimising plant downtime during maintenance and inspection.
Sapele’s plant is one of the most advanced in the region, and the integration of QOC Solutions’ quick opening closures has played a key role in ensuring continuous and reliable operation. The ability to efficiently recover and reuse LPG has a direct impact not only on economic savings for the plant, but also on environmental sustainability, positioning the plant as a role model for future Oil & Gas initiatives.
QOC Solutions’ vertical quick opening closures for Sapele’s plant
QOC Solutions designed and supplied vertically installed quick opening closures with sectors for the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) recovery plant at Sapele. These closures, with specific technical specifications of 36″/600 – 46.5 barg, were custom-made to meet the plant’s operational requirements, ensuring maximum safety and high pressure resistance.
The vertical installation of these quick opening closures was an ideal solution to optimise space and facilitate access for maintenance and inspection. Designed to withstand severe operating conditions, these closures can handle high pressures, minimising the risk of gas leakage and ensuring safe and continuous plant operation.
One of the main features of QOC Solutions’ quick opening closures is their ability to drastically reduce downtime. Thanks to their innovative design, operators can intervene quickly and safely, avoiding costly interruptions. The specific 46.5 barg resistance makes these closures particularly suitable for LPG handling, offering a reliable solution even in the most critical situations.
The vertically installed quick opening closures with sectors have contributed significantly to the efficiency of Sapele’s plant, ensuring smooth and safe operations.
