In August 2024, Diamond Key International Group successfully completed the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) for the DS380 VRU Skid at its global manufacturing centre in Yueyang, China. This significant milestone reflects DKI’s ongoing collaboration with Terminals New Zealand.
The terminal manager and maintenance manager from TNZ were welcomed for a comprehensive two-day inspection. During this time, they conducted a thorough evaluation of the skid, examining everything from its dimensions to the functionality of its valves and instruments. Their positive feedback not only underscored DKI’s professionalism but also reinforced the strength of the partnership between the two organisations.
The DS380 VRU Skid is a testament to DKI’s commitment to engineering excellence and innovation. It features a standardised design that allows for shorter delivery times, easy installation, and reliable operation with low maintenance costs, making it an ideal solution for small to medium-sized depots and terminals.
With the FAT now successfully completed, DKI is preparing for shipping, with delivery anticipated by the end of October. The company looks forward to continuing its partnership with TNZ as it moves toward final commissioning and operation.
Gratitude is extended to the DKI teams in Australia, China, and the Cool Sorption team in Denmark, whose dedication has been instrumental in ensuring the project’s smooth progression and laying a strong foundation for future collaborations.
A testimonial from the TNZ team highlighted the success of the FAT: “The F.A.T could not have gone better; we covered all aspects thoroughly, and the team who specialised in each division were attentive and knowledgeable on the unit. We addressed the visual, functionality, electrical, and pneumatic aspects, with all findings being minor, if not repairable then and there.
“We summarised all findings, assigned any outstanding actions, and left the F.A.T knowing the unit has not only been fabricated and built to a high standard but will have all the appropriate documentation, including certifications. I would also like to thank the entire DKI team for hosting us; this was an experience. The team could not have been any friendlier or accommodating if they had tried. It was a pleasure. Thanks again from the TNZ team; we look forward to seeing some of you again during the commissioning phase.”
