Subsea cleaning and cutting
Published: 01 July, 2014
UK high-pressure water jetting/pumping systems manufacturer Hughes Pumps reports it has supplied three specially commissioned and precision engineered HPS2200 DNV containerised water jetting units to one of the oil & gas sector’s leading offshore rental companies.
The water jetting units will be added to one the world’s leading specialist rental equipment fleets, for use by specialist contractors typically for subsea cleaning and cutting on offshore oil & gas rigs in the large area of the North Sea between the UK and Western Europe.
Hughes says the systems have been built around HPS2200 pumps that are suitable for pumping seawater with a performance of 83lpm at 1000bar (22gpm at 15,000psi). Hughes’ unique integral reduction gearbox and SAE engine adaptor, offered on all Hughes pumps, allow for an extremely compact installation that reduces the equipment footprint to a minimum.
Operator and maintenance personnel were involved in the design of the DNV containers.
