The Oil and Gas and petrochemical industries are among the most challenging industries worldwide. This is because oil and gas extraction facilities are generally highly demanding environments and require high and reliable electrical power for heavy equipment and processes.
In turn, in these industries, it is essential to ensure an efficient and safe response in the extraction and distribution of these raw materials.
For this reason, quality generator sets and materials that are suited to harsh environments and sensitive processes are essential. Let’s take a look at why power supply is so important in the oil and gas industry and what solutions ElectraMolins offers for this sector.
Why are generator sets essential in the gas and petrochemical industry?
Generating sets are essential in the oil and gas industry because they generate and supply the energy necessary to carry out operations.
At the same time, they are necessary to ensure the supply of energy in the event of a power failure. In this sense, generating sets ensures the correct and continuous operation of infrastructures in emergencies and prevents financial losses.
Similarly, the diversity of oil extraction infrastructures makes it necessary to use specialized equipment in difficult environments in terms of temperature, humidity, or the presence of dust.
Some processes in the petrochemical industry are highly complex and sensitive. Many of them cannot even be de-energized for more than a few seconds because they would pose a danger to the integrity of the plant and the workers. This is the main reason why having a power supply is vital in this sector.
ElectraMolins solutions for the gas and petrochemical sector
Our generator sets guarantee that in the event of any failure, the power supply will be restored in the shortest possible time, thus avoiding any kind of risk. These are some of the characteristics of the generating sets we offer to the Oil & Gas and Petrochemical sector:

- Preventive alarm system
- We offer generator sets according to the specifications of each project so that they adapt perfectly to the needs of our customers. Our equipment can be perfectly used as a backup in the event of a power failure in sectors such as petrochemicals, the steel industry, and refineries.
Similarly, our generator sets meet all safety and operational requirements to provide our petrochemical customers with high levels of durability, performance, and reliability.
Doubts? Ask for information
From ElectraMolins we encourage you to consult some of our projects for the petrochemical sector in gas compression stations and refineries in Spain, Peru, and Morocco.
Depending on the type of use of the generator set (either emergency or continuous use), the location, and the characteristics of the equipment, the best option in terms of fuel and model to be installed must be selected and defined.
