Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) play a vital role in the offshore oil and gas industry. It is not only responsible for extracting and storing hydrocarbons from the seabed, but also needs to connect with other ships or devices through an efficient fluid transfer system. As a key equipment in FPSO operations, the hose reel ensures the safe and efficient transfer of fluids in various operations.
Features and benefits of hose reel
● Precise control and flexible operation
Avoid entanglement and wear: The reel can effectively prevent the hose from being damaged due to entanglement or friction, and extend the service life of the hose.
Adapt to harsh environment: designed to withstand high winds, waves and highly corrosive marine environments, ensuring all-weather operation.
● Improvement of operational efficiency
Traditional manual operations may take a lot of time, but mechanized hose reels can quickly deploy and recover hoses, improve the docking efficiency between FPSOs and tankers, and shorten the time of oil unloading operation.
● Safety and environmental protection
The reel system reduces the risk of hose over-stretching or sudden rebound through closed-loop control, thereby reducing accidents. At the same time, its intelligent monitoring function can detect the status of the hose in real time to prevent leakage from polluting the environment.
Hose reel applications
Core equipment for fluid transportation
In the operation of FPSO, the main function of the hose reel is to manage and maintain the hoses used to transport crude oil, natural gas and other fluids. These reels enable efficient deployment and retrieval of hoses, ensuring that the hoses are not subject to excessive wear or damage during the fluid transfer process, thus extending their service life.
Meet environmental requirements
With the increasing emphasis on environmental protection, the requirements for hose reels in FPSO operations are becoming increasingly higher. An efficient hose management system reduces the risk of leakage, ensures compliance with environmental regulations during fluid transfer, and reduces the impact on marine ecology.
Multi-function operation
In addition to the transportation of crude oil and natural gas, FPSO also needs to perform water injection and wastewater treatment. Hose reels also play an important role in these operations, as they provide the flexibility to manage water injection hoses and wastewater disposal hoses, ensuring efficient and safe operations.
Emergency response capability
In emergency situations, such as fire or equipment failure, hose reels can quickly deploy fire hoses, ensuring timely response and protecting the safety of personnel and equipment. This emergency response capability is an integral part of FPSO operations.
CDSR single/double catenary oil hose is designed for floating oil offloading facilities such as FPSO and FSO, in order to meet the needs of highly integrated operations. This type of hose is not only perfectly compatible with the onboard reel system, but also has excellent flexibility and adaptability to easily cope with complex reeling requirements. After the oil loading or unloading operation is completed, the hose can be quickly and safely rolled up and retracted around the reel, greatly improving operational efficiency and safety. In addition, CDSR catenary oil hose performs well in harsh marine environments and can effectively resist high winds and waves and strong corrosion, ensuring stable operation in various climatic conditions. Its efficient fluid transportation capability and environmental friendliness make it a product worthy of user trust.
