Introducing 24/7 Compression's Cat 3600 Reman Engine Program
24/7 Compression Ltd. introduces a specialized exchange remanufactured engine program focused on the Caterpillar G3608TA, G3612TA, and G3616TA Adem 3 lines of gas compression engines. This program, designed for businesses in Alberta and BC, combines reliability and efficiency with an unwavering commitment to quality. It offers a strategic solution for industries relying on specific Caterpillar (Cat) engine models, emphasizing rapid deployment, cost-effectiveness, and environmental responsibility.
Here, we share details of how this program achieves these critical objectives and the specific benefits it offers.
First, What Is a Remanufactured (Reman) Engine?
A reman engine, short for 'remanufactured engine,' is a pre-owned engine that has been completely disassembled, inspected, cleaned, and rebuilt with new or remanufactured parts to meet original manufacturer specifications. This process involves replacing or refurbishing all worn or outdated components and ensuring the engine performs as well as a new one.
What Is Involved in the Exchange?
The term 'exchange' in this context means that the remanufactured engine is often provided in exchange for the customer's used engine, which then goes through the same remanufacturing process for future use. This approach is not only cost-effective but also environmentally friendly, as it recycles existing engines and reduces waste.
A Comprehensive Reman Process
At the heart of 24/7 Compression's service is a thorough remanufacturing process conducted in a state-of-the-art OEM Caterpillar facility. This process includes:
- Full Warranty Coverage: Each engine and component comes with a 1-year warranty, covering all major aspects.
- Aggressive Turnaround Times: Understanding the cost of downtime, 24/7 Compression can turn around most 3600 engines within 6-10 days.
- Advanced Machining Services: Utilizing cutting-edge technology, the engines are rebuilt to spec, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
- Stock Availability: To minimize downtime, major components are stocked for immediate deployment in unit-down situations.
What You Should Know About Cat Gas Compression Engines
Caterpillar's gas compression engines are specialized power systems designed for the oil and gas industry. These engines are built to handle the rigorous demands of gas compression applications, ensuring reliable and high-performance operation.
This makes the case for remanufacturing even stronger. By choosing remanufactured engines and parts, industries can leverage Caterpillar's advanced engineering in a more economical and sustainable way, maintaining high performance without the need for brand-new equipment.
Cat Reman Parts and Procedures
The Cat 3600 series engines, including models G3606A3, G3608A3, G3612A3, and G3616A3, undergo a rigorous overhaul process:
- Engine Block Inspection: Using a specialized inspection stand, each block is thoroughly checked for defects.
- Cat Reman Core Acceptance Criteria: All engine cores must be complete and match the supplied Cat engine in specifications.
- Critical Component Overhaul: Items such as prechambers, check valves, fuel control valves, oil pumps, and more are either remanufactured or replaced with new Caterpillar parts, depending on the component.
- Quality Control: Every component, including turbochargers, exhaust manifolds, and crankcases, is tested and inspected to ensure peak performance.
