Distributed Buoyancy Modules
In floating production scenarios, dynamic risers and rigid steel export risers, cables and umbilicals are often required to be held subsea in a geometric configuration known as a stable catenary from vessel or platform to the riser base or export tanker, to achieve this shape a distributed buoyant load must be applied to the relevant riser section. This buoyant load can be applied using Distributed Buoyancy Modules (DBM).
It is critical that during the design life the buoyant load does not migrate or its buoyant force degrade.
We are the world's supplier of choice for Distributed Buoyancy Modules for dynamic risers. Over 90% of offshore floating production systems make use of our Distributed Buoyancy Modules.
