A family business since 1981
You reach the owners.
Tragency was founded in 1981 as a family business, and forty-five years later it still is. Three members of the family lead it today, the third generation has joined them, and one partner has become family in every way that matters.
We have chosen to stay a boutique company and to stay hands-on. When you call Tragency you do not reach a call centre or a distant regional office. You reach the owners, who will be on site with you and still be here for your next turnaround, and the one after that.
Big enough to bring you the world's best technology. Small enough that every relationship is personal.
Progress is not achieved alone. It is achieved in partnership: with you, with our technology partners, and with all who share the vision of a greener, safer and more efficient industry.

The world's makers, brought to your plant.
Clients
Trusted by the region's plants.
See how it works
World-class equipment. Our engineers on your site.
We supply, install, inspect and service the equipment that keeps oil, gas, fertilizer and water plants running.
Watch the filmsScroll
Heat transfer
Heat exchangers, sized for your duty.
Shell and tube, plate and spiral units from leading makers, with local engineers behind every one.
Site service
When it fouls, we pull it.
- 01Unbolt the channel
- 02Lift it clear
- 03Draw the tube bundle
- 04Clean, inspect, return to service
Inspection
Find the thin wall before it leaks.
An eddy current probe runs every tube end to end, so you replace only what is failing.

Reformer tubes
Twenty degrees too hot halves a tube's life.
Reformer tubes are designed for about 100,000 hours at their design wall temperature. Drag the temperature and watch what overheating costs.
11.4years of expected tube life
Rule of thumb: 20 °C above design halves tube life. Design basis 100,000 hours (API 530).
Filtration and separation
One stream in. Gas, oil and water out.
A well stream arrives as one mix. The internals of a three phase separator slow it, settle it and send each phase to its own outlet.
- 1Inlet deviceBreaks the stream's speed and drops the liquid out of the gas
- 2Calming baffleA perforated plate that evens the flow so droplets settle
- 3Sand jets and pansWash settled sand to the drains without a shutdown
- 4WeirOil spills over it, water stays behind
- 5Vortex breakersStop the outlets drawing gas into the liquid lines
- 6Vane packCatches the last oil mist before the gas leaves
Fluids measurement and control
Turn it by hand. Feel it let go.
Every motor operated valve has a handwheel for when the power is off. The first few degrees take the most force. That is breakaway torque, and it is what we size actuators by.
0% open
Heat transfer
Opened on site. Every plate checked.
Plate heat exchangers foul and their gaskets age. We open the pack where it stands, clean and inspect each plate, regasket where needed and close it to its design length.
Pull the pack apart
0of 40 plates open
Water and wastewater plants
It takes 60 bar to beat the sea.
Reverse osmosis pushes seawater through membranes at around 60 bar. Salt stays behind, fresh water comes through. At Remeilah 3 that is 12,000 cubic metres a day.
0bar at the membranes
Tilt the jug to pour. Seawater pushes back at about 27 bar: below that, nothing comes through.
Process and utility packages
Bring the arm home in one move.
A top loading arm swings out from the gantry, drops into the tanker's hatch and seals its vapour hood, so nobody on the bay lifts a hose. We supply, install and service loading arms and the packages around them.
Drag the arm to the open hatch
Chemical injection packages
Every joint tested before it ships.
A chemical injection package arrives as one skid: tank, strainer, calibration column, two dosing pumps and their header. We pipe it, test every joint and run it before it leaves the shop.
0of 4 joints made
Flares
Three pilots, then the flame.
A flare burns off gas the plant cannot use, safely and high above it. Its pilots burn day and night so the flare is always ready to take a release. We supply flare stacks, tips and their ignition systems.
