Conquering the Harsh Desert Environment! Aokey's Customized Non-Segregated Phase Bus BGFM for the Energy Project in Algeria, Africa, Delivered Two Weeks Ahead of Schedule!
Introduction: Amid the scorching winds and sands of the Sahara Desert, a modern methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) facility is rapidly taking shape. Recently, the key power transmission and distribution equipment manufactured by Aokey —the BGFM-5.5/2000-Z non-segregated phase enclosed bus system—was completed ahead of schedule. This signifies that our power equipment will withstand the harsh environmental tests of North Africa, demonstrating OKAY’s technological prowess and exceptional quality in high-end overseas markets. It also marks another significant milestone in our strategic expansion across the African market.
The Algeria MTBE project is located on the edge of the Sahara Desert, facing world-class environmental challenges:
· Extreme Heat: Summer temperatures soar to 55°C, with equipment surface temperatures exceeding 70°C.
·Sandstorm Assault: Particulate matter concentration during sandstorms exceeds 2,000 μg/m³.
· Significant Temperature Variations: Daily temperature fluctuations exceed 30°C.
Technical Features | Parameter Indicators | Environmental Adaptation Value |
Protection Level | IP55 | Effectively blocks sand and dust intrusion |
Rated Peak Withstand Current | 79kA | Ensures continuous and stable operation of chemical facilities |
Temperature Rise Control | ≤55K (at full load) | Reliable operation in high-temperature environments |
Corrosion Resistance | Heavy-duty anti-corrosion coating | Resists erosion from corrosive substances |
· Dustproof Sealing Technology: A unique labyrinth sealing structure and specialized sealing materials effectively prevent fine sand and dust from entering the bus system.
· Seismic and Temperature Variation Resistance: An innovative expansion joint design perfectly resolves thermal stress issues caused by significant temperature fluctuations.
The project manager of Algeria’s national petroleum company remarked, "The professionalism and technical expertise demonstrated by the Chinese team are truly impressive. The early delivery has saved us significant costs, making this a perfect collaboration."
The product strictly adheres to international standards and has passed authoritative type tests conducted by the Xi’an High Voltage Apparatus Research Institute. The company’s quality manager stated, "Every product undergoes rigorous testing, including power frequency withstand voltage test: 23kV/1min; partial discharge detection: ≤5pC; short-circuit withstand test: 31.5kA/4s; temperature rise test: 2,000A full-load operation."
· Technological Demonstration: Implements Chinese standards for high-current non-segregated phase bus systems in Africa’s petrochemical sector.
· Market Expansion: Lays a solid foundation for subsequent projects in the Middle East and African markets.
· Brand Enhancement: Showcases Jiangsu OKAY Electric’s international competitiveness in power equipment manufacturing.
Currently, the company has reached multiple project collaboration intentions with countries such as Algeria and Nigeria. Orders in the African market are expected to grow by 100% this year.
The successful delivery of the BGFM-5.5/2000-Z non-segregated phase bus system not only reflects our company’s technical expertise in specialized bus systems but also highlights the competitive edge of Chinese manufacturing in the global market. As the Belt and Road Initiative continues to deepen, our company will remain committed to providing global customers with safe, reliable, and advanced power solutions, illuminating every corner of the world with the brilliance of Chinese innovation.
