Osv Engineering Pte Ltd

OSV Engineering manufactures air conditioning and ventilation equipment for hazardous areas in petrochemical installations such as refineries and offshore oil and gas platforms. Off Shore Ventilation Ltd was the first OSV company. It was established in UK in 1976 to design systems and manufacture equipment for the UK North Sea oil and gas industry. OSV Engineering Pte Ltd was established in 1986 in Singapore to provide the same service to the South East Asian region. In 1996 OSV established a manufacturing facility in Johor Bahru, Malaysia while continuing to operate from its office in Marsiling in Singapore. OSV has developed two product ranges of special HVAC equipment. The North Sea Range was developed in the UK and meets the requirements of fixed production offshore oil and gas platforms. The OSV HAZAIR range has been developed since 1986 to provide HVAC for land based analyser houses and for offshore cabins and temporary installations on platforms. Although OSV has standard products, the company provides equipment to meet project specifications which vary considerably from project to project and can require many options. Materials vary from 316L stainless steel to 304 stainless steel and mild steel with hot dip galvanized or painted finish. Electrical supplies vary from various voltages at three phase to single phase AC and DC supplies. Hazardous areas vary from those classified under the European IEC system and those under the US NEC system. Airconditioning, ventilation and pressurising capacities vary with the size of the project. OSV specialize in packaging HVAC systems to include duplicate air handling units, condenser units, compressors and duplicate pressurising fans systems all together on one skid complete with electrical cabling and control systems. This has advantage that the complete skid based system can be factory tested and inspected by the client prior to delivery of the unit to the site for installation. Late client requirements can be identified at this testing stage so that modifications can be done in the factory rather than in the more difficult working environment of the project site. This also reduces the commissioning work required to be done on site because operation of the system including the correct functioning of control systems has already been completed and tested. A further advantage of a complete package HVAC system is that installation is fast, requiring the lowering of the skid based HVAC unit onto a prepared matching foundation, connection of electrical and drain connections and installation of a minimum of ducting.
