Key Technologies

RFC (Remote Flooding Console) and STP (Subsea Test Pump)

EnerMech's latest generation of remote flooding consoles utilise proven technology, developed at EnerMech by the original inventors of subsea flooding and testing equipment, to flood and test subsea pipelines down to 3000 metres plus water depth.

RFC-19The RFC uses available seawater pressure outside the pipe as a source of power and water to flood and pig the lines whilst still meeting the desired filtration and chemical protection specifications. The unit filters, chemically doses, controls the flow and monitors flooding operations without the need for a vessel in attendance. The self-contained unit can be left for extended periods on the sea bed. Pressure testing is completed by using ROV power to drive the STP. This technique offers significant schedule and cost savings when compared with traditional vessel based techniques.

Features

  • Removal of downline failure risk, no connection needed to surface vessel
  • Reduced vessel size, space, crew and lower project costs
  • Allows vessel to do other work during flooding operations
  • Reduced thermal stabilisation for hydrotest due to use of seabed water
  • The STP Pump unit can be skid connected to any ROV or mounted on the RFC
  • Allows full ROV hydraulic power to test pump to maximise performance (no transfer skid)
  • No risk of ROV hydraulics contamination during operations
  • Range of flows and pressures up to 45 litres/minute, 700 Barg based on a 110 lit/min at 210 bar supply ROV hydraulic supply

Online Hose Management (EnerMech OHM)

EnerMech Live Online Hose Management System provides a reporting function to allow the information to be downloaded into an Excel spreadsheet, PDF format or client required format. The system can filter and sort hoses data to produce standardised or bespoke reports as required by the client.

This database has been designed and constructed in-house, using a brief developed by Hose Management to ensure the following:

  • Provision to record hose data that exceeds that required by the Energy Institutes Guidelines for the management of flexible hose assemblies
  • Methods of uploading survey data that are efficient to ensure timely delivery of clients survey data
  • Flexibility to include and manage customers own data requirements i.e. SAP/Maximo references, Work Order numbers, Function/Location refs etc
  • Risk Based inspection data can be calculated to provide the appropriate tools for the Integrity Management process
  • Hose locations/functions can be described and grouped in a logical and structured way to allow the appropriate reporting and analysis
  • Data quality can be ensured through validation at the input stage and human error reduced through intelligent user interfaces
  • Flexibility to allow customisation of both the online service and any ancillary reporting to meet specific customer needs
  • Provision to create a Hose Register which contains the most up-to-date information on each hose (MHR or Master Hose Record) which is web based and can be accessed 24/7 by the client
  • The Online Hose Management Database can be accessed by the client as part of EnerMech LIVE’s online reporting suite. Login and password protected access can be set up and permissions to the various functions can be set up as required

EnerMech are also committed to ensuring that hose data is available and transferable to the client’s software applications where necessary. Our IT team have experience in working with clients to understand their needs to this respect (i.e. Cataloguing, SAP, Maximo, ERP systems etc) to help to ensure that their hose inventory can been made available in the appropriate format.

EnerMech has made every effort to ensure that this system, although robust, is both scalable and adaptable to new technologies, innovations and specialist requirements.

Integrity Management

Ineffective Flexible Hose Assemblies (FHAs) are serious contributors to the loss of process containment. In many potentially dangerous areas, defects and failures can compromise safety and environmental performance and contribute to unplanned shutdowns.

EnerMech provide a reference framework of management, technical controls and procedures which, when applied, will ensure the continued integrity of FHAs. This includes supply of competent hose inspectors and fitters through to provision of a bespoke and robust online hose management system.

EnerMech's hose management service complies with and is fundamentally based on the Energy Institute's ‘Guidelines for the Management of Flexible Hose Assemblies’. In addition, these guidelines were reviewed and published by the Energy Institute in February 2011 and have been revised by a steering group which included three members of EnerMech's Hose Management team.

We have extended our processes, procedures and capabilities to this extent to ensure immediate compliance with this publication.

Onsite Manufacture and Testing

EnerMech can provide offshore ready 12ft x 10ft hose workshop containers and mobile flushing units to allow the manufacture, test and flushing of the majority of hoses onsite for larger repair activities.

EnerMech's fleet of hose workshop containers have been designed in-house to offer a compact, safe hose manufacturing capability that can be deployed in harsh environments.

Tooling and equipment are modular and can be changed out to suit the demands of the project.

These units have proved to be key during shutdown and planned maintenance activites, allowing for modifications and repairs to be done in situ. These units have been very popular and our fleet continues to expand.

Field Inspections

“Inspection and repair alone are not sufficient to mitigate the risk of unplanned hose failure. Correctly identifying and addressing the actions arising from inspection data is fundamental to achieving FHA reliability.”

EnerMech has one of the largest specialist hose inspection teams in the UK.

Our inspectors have specific experience in conducting comprehensive hose inventory assessments, complete with recommendations for improving design and extending the useful life of the hoses.

We understand that the generation and maintenance of an accurate hose register underpins all subsequent activities. It is therefore key that those involved in its accuracy and currency are both competent and accountable for it.
