Piotr Blaut completed a work placement with Kinsale Energy Ltd from March to May 2015. He gained experience working on offshore platforms and projects. Some of the projects he assisted with included upgrading the glycol regeneration system by replacing old valves and instruments, updating the fire and gas detection system by inspecting detectors and modifying drawings, and adjusting flame detectors' fields of vision to improve safety coverage. The placement provided opportunities for Piotr to learn about offshore gas production and safety processes.

Bulk Gas Transportation systems have enabled customers worldwide to take advantage of the tremendous cost reduction and environmental benefits of converting to natural gas without waiting for expensive pipeline or LNG infrastructure. The PRS system is designed for pressure let down of natural gas delivered to a customer site by mobile storage. The PRS system is made up of two modules: Pressure Reduction Module (PRM) and Heating & Control Module (HCM).
Efficient & Cost-Effective CNG-Based Natural Gas Delivery for Ranges up to 500 km beyond the pipeline
Clean Energy Compression’s Fullfill & Maxoffload technology provides efficient and quick and fueling at source and the most complete offloading at destination. This technology makes CNG virtual pipelines an affordable remote energy solution by decreasing the cost per energy unit delivered.
