ENVIRO-PAK® Model 5000 Compactor chosen for Sakhalin I Project

It's cold in the Sea of Okhotsk. Located north of the Japanese island of Hokkaido and east of the island of Sakhalin, offshore structures can be exposed to icing from October through April. With low temperatures plummeting to -31°F, severe weather conditions are the norm. The Sea of Okhotsk is subject to treacherous storm winds, severe waves, icing of vessels, intense snowfalls and poor visibility. Ice sheets almost five feet thick move at speeds of 1-2 knots.

During the ice-free period, wave heights range between three to ten feet, but can reach in excess of sixty-two feet during 100-year storm conditions. Strong north-east and south-east winds cause a great amount of sea agitation in autumn and winter.

Working on any offshore facility subjects crew and equipment to harsh conditions. Working in the Sakhalins places crew and equipment in extreme conditions.

Tech Oil Products was contracted to build a specially modified Model 5000 Rollback Compactor to endure the extreme conditions of the Sakhalins. We were able to custom build a unit that offers a solution to the unique and difficult problem of our client.

In this case, the Model 5000 Rollback Compactor had to be rated to operate in temperatures to  - 40°F and was built to demanding client specifications including:

  • IEC Certified Components, with

  • IEC Certified Explosion Proof Electrical System
  • IEC Certified Motor Heater
  • IEC Certified Hydraulic Oil Heater with secondary cut-off
  • IEC Certified Storage Heater
    (when the compactor is in storage)

This ENVIRO-PAK® Model 5000 Rollback Compactor joins a custom built Model 4000 Rollback Compactor that has been operating in the same harsh environment of the Sakhalins for years with out failure.

From the Gulf of Mexico to the Sea of Okhotsk, ENVIRO-PAK® is "The World's Leader in Offshore Trash Compactors and Recycling Equipment."
