Balmoral Comtec Equipment
Umbilical, flexible and riser distributed buoyancy modules
Syntactic foam distributed buoyancy modules with internal clamps that reduce loads on flexible pipes, umbilicals and steel catenary risers in dynamic offshore service.
Description
Balmoral distributed buoyancy modules (DBMs) combine an internal clamping system with syntactic foam buoyancy elements made of microspheres and macrospheres in a polymer matrix. They reduce loads on flexible pipes, umbilicals and steel catenary risers and accommodate riser bending. For deepwater projects, modules and clamps are tailored for depths over 3000msw.
Key features
- Accredited by Bureau Veritas to API 17L
- Hydraulic installation tooling supplied; a pair of DBMs can be installed in under six minutes
- Foam compositions tailored for high-temperature applications
- Largest module supplied: 5.65Te uplift, over 3m long by 2m in diameter
- Finishing options for abrasion/impact resistance, marine growth resistance and high-visibility pigmentation
- Clamp options: high performance clamp, standard 3-piece clamp, integral module and Integral module PLUS
