Using the services of our sister company, Total Lockout, our installation team were on site recently installing a couple of Alcatraz CL Closure Door interlocks on some Celeros Flow Technology Bandlock closures.
The Bandlock closures have been part of our world since the earliest days of our interlock experience. They are a simple and robust method for closing off pipeline ends on Pig Launchers and Receivers. In that time, we must have supplied hundreds of interlocks for this type of end closure.
With the Alcatraz latest design, installation is a simple enough task. Line up the bleed screw with the locking bar. Mark the fixing holes, then drill and tap in the outer, non-pressure retaining collar.
This system is designed to ensure a pressurized vessel (in this case the launcher and receiver) are fully isolated, vented and drained before the door can be opened to install or retrieve the pig.
These launcher receivers are part of a major offshore to onshore oil and gas development project that will be installed and commissioned at the Sullum Voe Terminal in 2025.
