After years of loyal service, an existing high-pressure system was due for replacement. The requirements in terms of performance, safety and availability were established in close consultation. As the system is fed with salt water, the emphasis was on corrosion resistance, without compromising on safety and compliance.
The client is an internationally active energy company that manages installations in the offshore industry. Safety, reliability and compliance with applicable laws and regulations are central to the organisation. For critical installations, proven technologies are used that can be deployed over the long term under harsh conditions.
The client was looking for a high-pressure system that:
Waterkracht first drew up a conceptual layout in which all components could be positioned logically. The starting point was a one-to-one replacement, so that operators would immediately be familiar with the new installation.
An offshore-certified frame was then designed and built, in which all components are optimally integrated.
The installation included, amongst other things:
During the engineering phase, additional requirements were taken into account, including:
The entire installation was tested and inspected prior to handover. Following approval, the installation was authorised for use without any further modifications.
The replacement went according to plan and without any technical complications. The new system is compatible with existing operating procedures, meets the applicable safety requirements and is ready for immediate use in the offshore environment.
