AQUATIC’S MODULAR CAROUSEL: GLOBAL APPLICATIONS, PLUG & PLAY CAPABILITY

Aquatic, an Acteon company, includes

modular carousels in its equipment

portfolio to deliver faster mobilisations,

for broader product diameters and longer

product lengths.

With the modular carousel, flexible products require fewer subsea

connections, making the Aquatic carousel the practical alternative

for continuous deployment, bringing significantly reduced operational

costs for our customers.

CUSTOMER DEMAND

Today’s customers demand experienced personnel to safely handle

product. With that, comes a consistent requirement for portability or

modularity when hiring equipment, reducing the impact on schedules,

product connections and allowing for greater flexibility based on a

wider range of host vessels.

Seeking an enhanced range of mobilisation ports, they want to handle

equipment and product at compact quaysides, with choice on the

size and number of lifts to mobilise equipment. Mobilisations and

demobilisations have to be as efficient as possible, with equipment

delivered and able to function on any chosen vessel.

Aquatic’s innovative modular carousel affords optimised product

handling and storage. With its reel translated through 90 degrees, it

can spool under tension. It meets and exceeds customer expectations

and is truly a game-changer in a market wanting to go in ever deeper

water, with longer lengths of product.

Aquatic’s modular carousel is truly a plug and play alternative for the

global oil and gas, telecommunications and energy industries.

CAROUSEL

The carousel’s drive uses up to six

hydraulic motors, mounted at three

stations via a sprocket gear to the

chain attached on the outside lip of

the bottom flange wedges.

TOWER TENSIONER

The level wind tower tensioner is

set in render mode to provide the

required back tension. The speed

is determined by the speed of the

carousel.

DECK TENSIONER

The unit can be set to operate in

manual mode or automatic pay

in/pay-out, i.e., constant tension

render mode.

CAROUSEL DESIGN PRINCIPLES

• The patented 1500Te carousel (AQCS-01-1500) is able to be

operated in adverse vessel conditions, enabling the carousel to be

installed on a large range of vessels;

• The high design specification has resulted in a very robust unit

which will rarely operate at its design limit;

• Straightforward to put together, take apart and reassemble, the

carousel can be broken down into a variety of configurations with

shipping containers used for transportation;

• The reel has been placed on its side to maximise product capacity

and minimise vessel impact;

• The carousel unit can be mobilised on the quay-side ahead of time

and then craned in three sections (based on crane size) onto the

customer vessel when it docks;

• The flexibility of the carousel system allows it to be utilised for

operations of different total weight product within a single project.
