IPU were awarded all starting systems for both the fire pumps and generator set.
Read more…The hydraulic starting system was designed for a generator being used as a multi-role generator for emergency, essential services and blackstart operation with a prime function to start a 1000Kw fire pump motor.

Read more…Hydraulic Start Packages – FPSO The hydraulic start system was designed to provide three times 10seconds cranking capacity for the Cummins KTA50 engine on an FPSO. Full DNV classification and design approval is required for marine applications. The start system was automatically recharged by means of an electric motor driven recharge pump, which was type approved and also included a hand pump for local manual recharge. Full structural analysis for the steel work and framework was carried out to ensure it could withstand the loads of a marine environment; all none stainless steel parts were protected with a full offshore paint process. The pressure vessels were DNV and ASME compliant, as…

IPU were awarded all starting system designs and manufacturing for the project after lengthy design consultation periods with BP, KBR and the engine packager. The four start systems supplied were to provide starting capability to two fire pumps, one compressor and the emergency generator set shown in the photograph opposite. The installation of the hydraulic start system was unusual, as the space available was very limited. The design had…
Read more…IPU recently supplied the standby emergency start systems for the fire pumps on Exxon-Mobil Jerneh-A production platform in the South China Sea, offshore Kemaman, Malaysia. The Jernah A first began production in 1991 and this is the latest upgrade for the platform. The systems were designed to replace the existing sets and to provide three start attempts of 5 seconds each. All items, including the oil reservoir, have been manufacturer from stainless steel. All pressure vessels were manufactured to comply to ASME and were U stamped, with all pipework and fittings project specific by Parker. After a recent survey it has been identified that there is sufficient reserve for an additional 6…
