The first subsea HIPPS valves to be qualified for the Ultra-Deep Water of the GOM
An exciting project, which brought our technology to the extreme, leading to exceed the previous limits of design, quality and manufacturing experience.
Highlights
- Extremely compact design
- Less than two seconds to close
- HIPPS System integration testing performed in our hyperbaric chamber
An exciting project, whichbrought our technology to the extreme, leading to exceed the previous limits ofdesign, quality and manufacturing experience.
Several challengesencountered and successfully solved onto project path, with relevant milestonesfor our continuous growth, e.g. advanced optimization of our design, able to ensurea safety closing time of the 5 1/8” Double Slab gate valve within 2 seconds, atthe rated max pressure and water depth, as well as the first application of ourhyperbaric chamber to perform integration testing as requested by API RP 17O.
A Subsea Systemincluding an Ultra-Deep Water (10.000ft) HIPPS module rated 15.000 psi, anotherchallenging project in which ATV successfully accomplished its duties.
