WAPCo’s Completes Heat Exchanger Inspection

WAPCo’s Lagos Beach Compressor Station (LBCS) facility has completed its scheduled 5-year statutory inspection of key heat exchangers. The inspection, which ran from November 19 to December 6, 2025, covered the air gas coolers for Trains 1 and 2, turbine lube oil coolers, and the gas generator lubricant cooler.

These heat exchangers play a vital role in maintaining safe and efficient operations by removing heat from high-pressure gas streams. The inspection is part of WAPCo’s integrity management plan, introduced after previous equipment failures highlighted the need for regular monitoring.

The project was managed by our Manager responsible for Asset Integrity, Afolabi Ogunmefun and supervised by Engr. Joshua Cole, our Lead Asset Integrity Engineer. It was executed safely and on schedule by Ehijesy Technological Services, with strong support from the LBCS Operations and Maintenance team.

This inspection reinforces WAPCo’s commitment to operational reliability, safety, and proactive asset management.
