FITOK Successfully Delivered Sampling Systems Applied in FPSO to Customer
Recently, FITOK has successfully delivered a group of sampling systems, intended for a floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) unit operated by our customer in South America. An FPSO is a floating facility for the production, storage, and offloading of oil and gas. It gathers oil and gas mixtures from undersea wells through submarine pipelines, and then processes such mixtures into oil and gas for storage, for which it is also known as “Offshore Oil Factory”.
Recent years have witnessed offshore oil and gas development moving towards deep sea or open sea gradually, however, long-distance oil and gas pipelines bring about a significant increase in costs and risks. To this end, FPSOs are receiving mounting attention and becoming a new popular spot in oil and gas industry. Sampling systems, used to gather and analyze the medium in each process of FPSOs, are vital equipments to the FPSOs.
This group of sampling systems is made of 316L SS and 2507 super duplex steel, while parts of the systems intended for sour service are applied with materials in compliance with NACE MR0175. Sampling systems compliant with requirements of Equipment Category II in DNV-OS-E201. The successful delivery once again proves the superior product quality and on-time delivery capability of FTIOK.
