Reeling Hose For FPSO

Reeling Hose For FPSO

Product Introduction:

As a critical transfer equipment in FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) reel systems, our floating hose combines high-strength composite reinforcement with built-in buoyancy modules. It delivers outstanding flexibility, corrosion resistance, and fatigue resistance. Besides, it adapts well to frequent handling of FPSO reels and ensures reliable performance in long-term dynamic work on sea.

Key Features:

1.Reel-Ready Design: Constructed to withstand repeated spooling and unspooling without kinking or structural fatigue. Compatible with standard FPSO deck hose reels (manual, hydraulic, or electrically driven).

2.Multi-Purpose Compatibility: Suitable for a wide range of media, including:

*Methanol, corrosion inhibitors, wax inhibitors (chemical injection)

*Hydraulic fluids for subsea valve and BOP control

*Marine diesel (bunkering of support vessels)

*Fresh water, foam, and firefighting agents

*Pneumatic air for deck tools

3.Reinforced Construction: Multi-layer design featuring:

*Synthetic textile reinforcement for flexibility

*Helical steel wire for kink resistance and collapse protection under suction/vacuum

*Abrasion-resistant, oil-weather-marine synthetic rubber outer cover

*Smooth bore inner tube compatible with chemicals and hydrocarbons

4.Length & Pressure Options: Available in custom lengths from 50 m to 300 m, with working pressures up to 300 bar (4,350 PSI) for hydraulic applications.

5.End Connections: Fitted with marine-grade stainless steel or galvanized couplings (camlock, flanged, or high-pressure threaded) for quick connection to FPSO deck outlets, subsea equipment, or receiving vessels.

Advantages Over Rigid Pipe or Floating Hose:

*Space-efficient: Stored on reels, freeing up valuable FPSO deck area.

*Fast operation: One-person deployment and retrieval via reel system.

*Lower cost: No need for multiple hose sections, floats, or complex coupling.

*Reduced wear: Protects hose from direct sunlight, sea spray, and mechanical damage when not in use.
