Visitors to Offshore Europe 2015, on 8-11 September in Aberdeen, will get the first glimpse of the GEA drilling rig drain water treatment system, a must see for all semi-submersible drilling platform operators keen to conform to the IMO Regulations MEPC.107 (49).
The skid mounted system enables all deck drains and spillages from drilling operations to be treated to less than 5ppm residual oil content. The system is designed for high performance and specifically to be insensitive to ship/rig motions; unlike other static systems.
There is also the possibility to retrofit existing systems in order to benefit from the uncomplicated handling and its enormous advantage regarding cost and time.
In addition, the guarantee of lower residual oil content improves the charter rate of the drilling vessel – for this reason, the retrofit plant will pay off in next to no time.
Business Unit Manager for Oil & Gas, Energy and Marine at GEA UK, Steve Smith, said: “We are excited to be showcasing our new system at the show and looking forward to the interest it will generate.”
Also on the stand will be information and displays that reflect the wide portfolio of GEA which is specifically aimed for use in the offshore industry, including the RigMaster Decanter Centrifuge for processing muds with very high solid content.
(This will also be the first time that GEA attends the show after a recent re-organisation, which has seen the company merge its five segments to become one, therefore improving processes and efficiency to offer customers even better quality products and service.)
