Valves to meet various FPSO systems

Floating Production Systems - Shipham Valves support various FPSO & FLNG projects

Control flow rates to various parts of the vessel

The discovery of offshore gas in remote regions often results in higher costs than if positioned in non-remote regions and construction projects that are difficult to justify.

Floating production vessels provide a solution for remote areas by delivering mobile offshore production and storage facilities that produce, liquefy, store and transfer liquefied natural gas via a carrier ship to the mainland.

Challenges for floating production system operators

Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) and Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) vessel operators face numerous challenges including:

  • Space limitations and weight constraints
  • Operating in remote locations and hostile conditions
  • Maintaining temperatures for oil storage
  • Maximising production and efficiency levels
  • Gaining control of flow rates to parts of the vessel (i.e. ballast systems and cargo areas)
  • Through life cost

These issues could result in potential safety risks, production inefficiencies and significant financial losses.

Meeting bespoke FPSO and FLNG applications

Although the valve type, size and material used in offshore, FPSO and FLNG applications can differ, our valves have earned an impressive reputation for product design, quality, safety and reliability.

Various FPSO and FLNG systems use our valves: 

  • Ballast systems
  • Cooling systems
  • Firefighting / deluge systems and hydrants
  • Oil / water separation
  • Potable water modules
  • Sewage treatment plant (STP)
  • Wastewater

If your vessel operates near sand, valve material selection becomes critical.
