THE BUSINESS CHALLENGE

As one of Australia’s leading natural gas explorers and producers, QGC is a major user of power generation.

QGC invited Onsite Rental Group to provide an expert view on how to operate its power generation more efficiently.

ONSITE RENTAL GROUP’S APPROACH

Onsite’s Power Specialists know that 90% of the cost of operating generators is fuel. With that as a starting point the Onsite team undertook a full power audit on both Onsite and third party generators.

The power audit is a comprehensive undertaking that identifies improvements in safety, fuel consumption, generator configuration, redundancy, general set up and appropriate generator sizing.

The audit revealed that QGC could make significant savings if generators were re-sized, used more wisely and the number of generators was reduced significantly.

THE BUSINESS ADVANTAGE

Through this process Onsite were able to save QGC more than 400,000 litres of fuel representing a saving of almost half a million dollars a year.

THE BUSINESS CHALLENGE

Cost control is a project imperative for Queensland Company QGC.

After experiencing performance problems, with their existing pump configuration, QGC invited Onsite Rental Group to develop the most efficient pumping set up.

ONSITE RENTAL GROUP’S APPROACH 

Onsite’s pump specialists worked collaboratively with OEM Pioneer Pumps and the engineering team at QGC to identify the optimal pump configuration.

A third party hire company supplied the original sixteen pumps but those pumps were inadequate for the job.

The result was that Onsite supplied 9 custom built pumps that more effectively met flow & head pressure requirements of the job.

THE BUSINESS ADVANTAGE

The smarter pump configuration resulted in annual savings of $1.5million for QGC.

Additionally the new pumps met strict noise requirements.

The audit proved the benefit of Onsite’s specialist advice as compared to hiring general off-the-shelf equipment without consideration of its application.
