FPSO Industry Solution Type 1098 (Aluminum Bronze Construction) Ideal Choice for Pump Protection in Firewater Protection Systems FPSO Industry Overview Emerson Process Management Solution A Floating Production, Storage, and Ofoading (FPSO) is a oating tank system used by the oil and gas industry particularly in offshore operations. Floating production vessels are built with processing facilities, allowing it to handle the oil or gas it receives from nearby platforms or templates. Processed oil or gas is stored in the FPSO until a sufcient amount has been collected to ll a tanker. At which point, the unit ofoads the stored material using a loading hose into a tanker going ashore. Fisher® regulators are used in many applications and industries that require reliable and accurate regulation. Emerson Process Management has provided many successful FPSO installations worldwide. FPSOs have been in service since the 1970’s. Its use has grown more popular as oil and gas explorations moved farther offshore. FPSOs offer a more economical alternative to installing long-distance seabed pipelines connecting oil wells to an onshore terminal. The Regulator Advantage The environmental, safety, and health considerations are a primary concern on an FPSO or other offshore platforms. In the event of a re there is an increased probability of a power outage. Regulators have the distinct advantage over control valves for use in re protection systems because they are self-actuated and therefore require no external power supply to operate. The use of self-actuated regulators ensures continuous operation and functionality of the re protection system regardless of the status of the external power. Our main applications for FPSOs are: • Pressure Reducing and Backpressure Control for Instrument Air Supply • Nitrogen Distribution • Seawater Distribution • Firewater System To keep up with the requirements for a severely corrosive environment, Emerson Process Management offers Fisher regulators with constructions that are suitable for Offshore/Seawater applications such as Monel® and Aluminum Bronze body materials. A comprehensive range of Fisher pressure regulators suitable for gases, liquids, and steam is also available. Monel® is a mark owned by Special Metals Corporation.
