Major Oil & Gas Operator / Craig International Supplies
Craig International have been a name synonymous with quality procurement services for the oil and gas industry. A family-owned business, they are part of the international Craig Group and label themselves as a technologically advanced procurement partner for the modern-day energy industry.
Having attained a contract to upgrade existing level measurement instrumentation with high quality Magnetic Level Indicators (MLI) on a North Sea Floating Platform Storage and Offload vessel (FPSO), Craig needed an experienced supplier and manufacturer to address the various fuel and lube oil tank applications. ABLE proposed the supply of the well-respected WEKA AG SmartLine 50 MLI. Based on this small, lightweight float, it is possible to produce a magnetic visual level indicator with a tube diameter of an inch, i.e. 33.7 mm. Thanks to the slim design, steel is saved, which lowers the manufacturing costs but also saves on transportation costs. Since, as with all WEKA devices, the European Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) is observed, the lower volume plays a major role, as it results in lower categories and a lower test workload, making SmartLine – an intelligent solution for the measurement.
