Balmoral Offshore Engineering has introduced a range of high temperature thermal insulation systems suitable for use on subsea Christmas trees, manifolds, spool pieces and jumpers, etc.
High temperature-rated silicone, urethane alloy, and epoxy materials form the core of the thermal insulation portfolio.
“2015 and 2016 has been Balmoral Offshore Engineering’s busiest period in terms of thermal insulation projects,” said Bob Oram, technical director. “We have contributed to a number of projects including Pierce and Blackbird in the UK North Sea, Shah Deniz in the Caspian, Lucius Deepwater in the Gulf of Mexico, Baobab offshore Cote d’ Ivoire, the Ten project in Ghana, and the OYO phase II project in Nigeria.”
Proprietary laboratory, hydrostatic and mechanical testing facilities enable Balmoral to research, identify, and develop cost effective materials across a spectrum of applications.
Despite current market conditions Balmoral continues to invest heavily in technology, manufacturing processes, and product development. Installing state of the art technology is key to driving production efficiencies and reducing lead times. In addition, Balmoral has expanded its subsea test center, which services the developing requirements of clients and that of the wider market.
