Diesel Hydraulic Fire Water Pump Systems

Project description

N’Goma FPSO was previously on hire as FPSO Xikomba and was converted to FPSO N’Goma by SBM Offshore. The FPSO will operate under a twelve year lease and operate contract with Eni Angola S.p.A on Block 15/06, West Hub, offshore Angola. The FPSO is owned by Sonasing and operated by OPS, a Joint Venture company formed by SBM Offshore (50%) and Sonangol (50%).

For this project we successfully tested and delivered a total of two 2100 m³/h Fire Water Pump Systems. Each system consists of a hydraulic driven lift pump, installed below the water line, delivering water to a deck mounted diesel driven booster pump. The control philosophy is designed for full autonomous operation. Design, construction and testing according to the requirements of ABS and NFPA-20 is all done in-house.
