FPSO piping materials project supply
Project Overview
The supply scope included small diameter heat exchanger tubes and large diameter seamless pipes used in offshore processing modules, heat exchanger systems and offshore piping systems.
FPSO projects require high reliability materials due to harsh offshore environments including seawater corrosion, vibration, high pressure and continuous operation conditions. This demonstrates our experience in supplying engineered alloy materials for offshore EPC projects and FPSO modules.
For general product information, please refer to our stainless steel pipes, heat exchanger tubes, alloy materials project reference pages for additional offshore project supply experience.
