The Republic of Congo (Brazzaville) is located in the mysterious plains of central and western Africa, with the equator crossing the central part of the country. The flow of the Congo River is turbulent, with waves surging and raging; The horned horse gallops with iron hooves, stirring up fierce dust... Here, not only are there magnificent landscapes rarely visited by humans, but also many virgin lands that urgently need to be cultivated, beating the strong pulse of the African continent, waiting for the arrival of builders. According to the data, the natural gas resources of Congo (Brazzaville) are 100 billion cubic meters, and the proven oil resources in coastal and offshore oil areas are 3.7 billion barrels, with recoverable reserves of 1.3 billion barrels.Based on abundant energy reserves, the petrochemical industry plays an important role in the national economy of Congo (Brazzaville).

China's joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" initiative has promoted the development of relevant industries in countries along the Belt and Road, and has also added new opportunities for enterprise cooperation. The Kayo oil field project located in the southwest coast of Congo (Brazzaville) is just an important cooperation project of the "the Belt and Road" initiative in Africa. In this project, Vertiv (NYSE: VRT) actively partnered with customers to go global and provided a "new generation of single machine 20MW level ultra high power air-cooled frequency converter", achieving dual benefits of safe and energy-saving operation of production equipment.

Product 'innovation power' wins customer favor

The Kayo Oilfield, jointly developed by a domestic petrochemical group and the National Oil Company of Congo (Brazzaville), is the "two largest" oilfield projects with proven reserves and development scale on land in Congo (Brazzaville). However, due to the oilfield's location near the sea and the humid and thunderstorm climate in the area, the power grid is unstable. At the same time, the local technological level is relatively low, and based on these factors, customers have put forward high requirements for the quality and efficiency of products and maintenance.

Greenhouse gas emissions from oil and gas extraction account for over 8% of the global total, with methane produced from oil extraction being the primary issue. For the consideration of sustainable development, Kayo Oilfield has designed a large-scale modern oilfield associated gas processing plant and deployed key equipment such as associated gas compressors and refrigerant compressors, Therefore, choosing high reliability and high efficiency frequency converter products can ensure the safe operation of the equipment. The "new generation single machine 20MW level ultra high power air-cooled frequency converter" under Vertiv Technology precisely meets all customer needs for frequency converter products.

The “hard power” of technology originates from years of accumulation

As a brand with many years of development, Vertiv Technology has fully inherited the rich experience of its predecessor Emerson Network Energy, and has a profound technological accumulation. With a perfect R&D system, it has always maintained the progressiveness nature of professional technology in the industry. The "new generation single machine 20MW level ultra high power air-cooled frequency converter" adopted by Kayo Oilfield is an innovative product developed by Vertiv Technology after 15 years of iterative research and development. It gathers the technical accumulation of four generations of products and is currently the largest fully air-cooled ultra high power H-bridge cascaded frequency converter in the industry.

Compared to others, the "new generation single machine 20MW level ultra high power air-cooled frequency converter" has leading advantages in four dimensions:

High reliability: Multiple PCB processes and three-layer three proof paint ensure circuit stability, durability, and industry-leading anti-interference.

Energy conservation and environmental protection: Compliant with international standards, with low harmonics and high power factor. The energy-saving capacity of various load devices can reach 50%, and the energy saved per hour can fully charge 125 electric vehicles.

Convenient and efficient: H-bridge cascade design, capable of providing up to 98% overall efficiency; Modular MTTR is less than 30 minutes, which can save 45% of land occupation.

Low failure rate: MTBF can be stabilized at over 100000 hours, equipped with pre charging technology, which can reduce the probability of failure and improve equipment lifespan.

No matter how the scene changes, it's better to walk leisurely in the idle courtyard. Vertiv Technology's "new generation single machine 20MW level ultra high power air-cooled frequency converter" can fully meet Jiarou Oilfield's requirements for continuous operation, safety and energy saving of products, and meet its continuous production needs.

Global 'escort force' helps Chinese enterprises set sail overseas

Vertiv Technology has deployed technical service outlets in over 130 countries worldwide, possessing strong cross-border service delivery capabilities and the ability to quickly respond to customer needs. Meanwhile, in the long-term development, Vertiv Technology has established a mature industrial chain, service chain, and value chain system, which can continuously create value for Chinese enterprises going global. It is precisely based on the strong support capability of Vertiv Technology's global business system and the service advantage of "professional and reliable, globally responsive" that the client identified Vertiv Technology as the preferred partner for this overseas project at the beginning of the preparation of the Jiarou Oilfield project.

Relying on the overall advantages of global services, Vertiv Technology has been deeply involved in the construction of the "the Belt and Road" international project. In the construction of projects such as the Philippines DITO, Egypt October Zhai Metro, Laos Telecom, Pakistan Combined Cycle Power Station, etc., Vertiv Technology has provided extensive product support, jointly created a benchmark project of "the Belt and Road", promoted technological progress, helped industrial collaboration, and maintained a beautiful world of constant online!
