As an important part of the offshore oil transportation system, ancillary equipment plays a key role in improving efficiency, ensuring connection stability and fixing safety.
There are many types of ancillary equipment, mainly including the following categories:
In terms of flange connectors, there are studs, nuts and gaskets, etc. These components are important components of the oil hose connection, ensuring the stability and sealing of the connection.
The chain assemblies include pick-up chain and snubbing chain, which plays an important role in load-bearing and buffering during the installation, use and maintenance of the oil hose to ensure safe operation.
There are many types of hose end accessories, such as butterfly valves, lifting spool pieces, camlock couplings and lightweight blind flanges, which play a key role in the connection, control and safety of hoses.
Buoyancy equipment is also indispensable, including pick-up buoys, floating concentric reducers, floating Y’ Pieces and hose floats. These devices can provide the necessary buoyancy support for the oil hose string to keep it in the proper position in the water.
The studs, nuts, gaskets, blind flanges, etc. used for hose groups in ancillary equipment must have good structural strength. Hot-dip galvanizing and special coating processes are generally used to ensure that metal parts have excellent resistance to salt spray, aromatic hydrocarbons and other media.
To ensure the safety of the hose assembly, special ancillary equipment such as butterfly valves, camlock couplings, MBC, etc. are designed by professional organizations and personnel. Among them, MBC provides a clear safety separation point in the marine hose transmission system. When extreme pressure fluctuations or excessive tensile loads occur in the hose system, it can automatically cut off the product flow, prevent system damage, reduce risks, and improve the safety of loading and unloading operations.
In offshore oil transfer operations, ancillary equipment deeply integrates technological innovation and safety needs through a systematic solution of "lifting-connecting-fixing". These ancillary equipment are not only "accessories" of the oil transportation system, but also the core support for ensuring efficient, environmentally friendly and safe operation of offshore energy transportation, which provides reliable technical guarantee for the sustainable development of the global offshore oil industry.
