The Catalyst Cooler Removal Unit (CCRU), originally designed and manufactured by Austeng 34 years ago, has returned to its birthplace. This unit was initially created for the installation and removal of the Catalyst Cooler in the main reactor (the “Cracker”) at what was then the Shell site. The design was undertaken by Ross George and father John George. This exciting project will now be handled by the Austeng team which includes Russell Brown, Dylan Mayson, Ross George and his son Russell, showcasing the strength and tradition of a family-run business in action.
The CCRU was brought back to the Austeng yard early one morning with the help of a 250-tonne crane. Now, the Austeng team begins the important task of refurbishing and ensuring the unit is safe for future use.
