BENEFITS
- Robust Build for Offshore Environments - All RigForce™ systems are designed to operate continuously under severe offshore conditions in high salt, high temperature, and high humidity environments
- Compact Footprint - High-pressure distribution of instrument air throughout the facility is much more efficient and requires smaller diameter piping than low pressure distribution
- Energy Efficient - Offshore power is premium, therefore, all BAUER RigForce™ systems are built to minimize energy usage on or below deck
- Low Cost of Ownership - BAUER systems are known for the lowest cost of ownership in the industry: high quality to reduce maintenance costs over time
