WHAT WE DO: Disco works with companies in the natural gas industry to metalize and recondition compressor cylinders and their components, restoring them to OEM specs. Disco saves companies significant money while being laser focused on quality and turn around time.
HOW WE DO IT: Having been in the industry since 1968, we use our skilled team--with 190+ years combined experience--and our new state-of-the-art robotic facility that allows us to spray vertically (resulting in a higher quality finish) to recondition your cylinders. See our process in action here: https://disco-inc.com/metalizing-compressor-cylinders
WHO WE WORK WITH: We work both with companies producing & transporting natural gas, and companies providing service to them. Since 1968, we’ve been helping these companies rebuild and refurbish their equipment, along with manufacturing replacement parts. Whether you need it done next week, or needed it done yesterday, our team is on call and ready to help.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
“DISCO has repaired probably over 100 pumps for me: split case, vertical, multi-stage, etc. I’ve been very happy with their service and response time. I would highly recommend them.” Andy Langley, Rotating Equipment Superintendent, Valero McKee Refinery
Disco has been a great machine shop for us. We have had to call on them several times to machine critical parts and repair compressor cylinders. They have great turnaround times and large machining capabilities.” Darryl Hughes, Rotating Equipment, Phillips 66 Borger Refinery
