The natural gas market, both locally and abroad, is experiencing an ever-increasing demand for operational excellence. Energas Technologies, a leading supplier of high-end specialised equipment for the oil and gas industries in southern Africa, has answered this need with the RMG 5020 gas pressure regulator from Honeywell.
In today’s natural gas industry, it is imperative for pilot-operated gas regulators to provide reliable performance in applications ranging from gas distribution systems to gas-fired power plants and processing facilities, as well as commercial and industrial gas services. Energas Technologies offers Honeywell’s RMG 5020 gas pressure regulator as a solution for gas pressure reduction in municipal distribution, gas transmission and industrial plant applications. “The RMG 5020 features state-of-the-art external pilot operation for accurate and safe control of outlet pressure and is the benchmark for dependable performance in this sector,” comments Laetitia Botha, product engineer for Energas Technologies.
The RMG 5020 offers highly precise and reliable pressure reductions for a host of operations in the gas sector. It improves on existing technologies with its precision grid plate design, versatile flow options and wide operational pressure range. The regulator also boasts easy in-line service and maintenance capability. Users can enjoy a range of benefits, including a small number of moving parts; high sensitivity and accuracy; precise control of set outlet pressure; ability to handle flow variation; low maintenance requirements; and low differential pressure requirements.
The RMG 5020 can maintain a precise reduced outlet pressure whilst ensuring the required gas flow downstream. “This is a tough, reliable piece of equipment that delivers smooth operation, tight shut-off and long life. Its ruggedness contributes to overall efficiency, with a reduction in the total cost of ownership, excellent working efficiency and the ability to meet individual operational requirements and improve reliability under all conditions,” remarks Botha. “These advantages are underpinned by low cost, improved uptime and reduced risk.”
The RMG 5020 is designed to drive down maintenance and repair costs at gas facilities. It is specifically configured for convenient in-line service, keeping long-term ownership costs at a low. Failures are very rare and routine instrument repairs are easy to perform, making unexpected shutdowns or operational interruptions caused by device malfunctions a thing of the past. Through Energas Technologies, Honeywell experts and certified technicians work alongside customers on all facets of product and application planning for gas pressure installations, assisting with start-up, commissioning, on-site technical support and dependable spare part assistance.
The 5020 boasts best-in-class features that make it a staple in the gas regulation offering of Energas Technologies. It has excellent regulating accuracy, even at low flow and during start-up phase. In addition its precise slotted grid plate design minimises noise emissions and it is also available with reduced flow options. The convenient top-entry configuration reduces maintenance requirements and the regulator is compact, which makes for convenient space saving. The pilot/filter is completely pre-mounted, making installation easy, and the reduced number of internal parts ensures quiet operation. With its optimised flow characteristics, the regulator boasts up to 38% higher capacity in comparison to the best alternative technology on the market. This feature allows for downsizing of the regulator and low differential pressure equipment. The regulator is also less affected by extreme operational temperatures as compared to competitor products and the integral pilot provides reliability under all conditions for inlet pressure up to 100 bar and outlet pressure up to 40 bar. Overall, the high stability and functionality of the regulator mean less downtime, more efficient operation and operational cost saving.
“As leading suppliers to the oil and gas industries in southern Africa, Energas Technologies has a mandate to deliver only best-in-class products to our clients operating in this competitive industry. For this reason, we go to great lengths to ensure that the products we supply are of the best quality and underpinned by top-notch professional support. With the Honeywell RMG 5020, we have the best of both worlds and are delighted to pass this reliable package on to the southern African gas sector,” Botha concludes.
