FPSO Industry Solution
Ideal Choice for Pump Protection in Firewater Protection Systems
FPSO Industry Overview
A Floating Production, Storage, and Offl oading (FPSO) is a fl 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 suffi cient amount has been collected to fi ll a tanker. At which
point, the unit offl oads the stored material using a loading hose into
a tanker going ashore.
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 fi re
there is an increased probability of a power outage. Regulators have
the distinct advantage over control valves for use in fi 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 fi re protection
system regardless of the status of the external power.
