RIG TENSIONING COMPRESSORS
Wärtsilä Hamworthy has been
designing and manufacturing multi
stage compressor applications for over
70 years.
During this time we have become
established as a major supplier of
medium and high pressure compressors
to various marine vessels, offshore
facilities and industrial applications
worldwide.
Wärtsilä Hamworthy has developed
an enviable reputation for reliable
machinery, backed up by an efficient
spares and service capability.
Our rig tensioning air and nitrogen
compressors are fully integrated,
lightweight, compact and engineered for
the offshore environment.
The combination of a 4 stage
compressor, dryer, and filtration package
with a contained cooling system,
produces filtered and dry, high pressure
air or gas suitable for riser tensioning
and other offshore applications. The
packages are designed to ensure that
upgrades, refurbishment, and servicing
can be easily carried out.
We also offer high pressure nitrogen
booster compressors, along with nitrogen
generation systems, for riser tensioning,
motion compensation, drill stream
compensation and other applications.
These units can be supplied as
integrated packages, fully assembled,
tested and ready for installation. The
module also meets the requirements of
the major marine classification societies.
