Hydraulics for drilling specialists<br />
Where black<br />
gold gushes<br />
The company ITAG was founded back in 1908 and today<br />
employs some 550 people. The ITAG engineering works are<br />
primarily engaged in the manufacture of equipment for the<br />
for the oil and gas industry such as ball valves, drill string<br />
components and wellhead systems. ITAG products are used<br />
all over the world in the production of oil, gas and geothermal<br />
energy. ITAG also performs drilling and workover services for<br />
its customers. It is in this area in particular that hydraulic<br />
technology made by WATZ <strong>Hydraulik</strong> is used.<br />
The Central Hessian hydraulics specialist supplies, for<br />
example, complete hydraulic power units for ITAG‘s drilling<br />
rigs. What is special about the equipment is the way in which<br />
the technology is powered. The power units are installed<br />
in easily transportable sound-insulated containers and<br />
comply with the strict ATEX directives governing electrical<br />
and mechanical equipment used in potentially explosive<br />
atmospheres. This is particularly important with regard to the<br />
equipment‘s specific use. When drilling down into the earth,<br />
underground gas-bearing formations may be encountered.<br />
Depending on the installation site, escaping gas could<br />
enter the container. Moreover, performance loss due to the<br />
distance to the hydraulically-driven devices must be avoided.<br />
The container is equipped with two power units, with one<br />
of the two 210 l/min units in constant operation while the<br />
second is ready to run in standby, this covering any outages.<br />
The complete motor-pump unit is mounted on a carrier plate,<br />
and the unit can be raised with the help of a double-action<br />
cylinder using a manual pump. This makes any future repair<br />
or maintenance work in the container much easier.<br />
ITAG attaches great importance to innovative solutions for<br />
its components, flexible management, highly qualified staff<br />
and of course reliable components suppliers. For this reason<br />
WATZ <strong>Hydraulik</strong> is justifiably proud of having ITAG among its<br />
customers.<br />
