Along with the Tratos technical expertise and knowledge of
worldwide regulations, our products are manufactured in
accordance to the Customer specs.
.
Many different high-tech materials are needed to meet the
demanding requirement’s of the sector and all types of cables
should be approved by certifying.
Oil&Gas Cables - Upstream
Oil&Gas (Upstream)
One of the key problems is corrosive effect of the substances
during the upstream process as:
-drilling muds,
-fluids, acids,
-solvents,
-hydrocarbons and salt/sea moisture.
as well gas conductibility and potential fire risks in any of the
designated Hazardous areas can cause significant damage on
any Offshore installation.
Tratos offer a solution to this with their Dual Compound range
of Zero Halogen & Mud/Oil Resistant cables which conform
and enhance all current British and European standards
including BS6883, BS7917, IEC, NEK606 & UKOOA in both
Flame Retardant and the most enhanced Fire Resistant
version IEC60331.31 covering Mechanical Shock and Water
Spray testing.
Oil&Gas Cables – Downstream
Petrochemical, Plant & Pipelines
(Downstream & Midstream)
From Refineries, LNG plant, Power stations onto transport
distribution networks. We can supply cables for :
- Power MV & LV,
-Control;
- Instrumentation,
-Telecomms copper and Fiber optic
- Data cables.
For any industrial equipment on site, we offer the complete
turnkey package of products which assists our clients
streamline their network design and increase Supply Chain
efficiency.
TRATOS is also enabled to supply onsite services for
installation & assistance to the installation phase.
Oil& Gas Cables - Subsea cables
Since 10 years ago, TRATOS began to develope own Subsea Range
of products.
With more than 40 year of experience and strong of a full range of
Testing facilities, TRATOS start to produce LOW WATER Subsea
cables range for:
- Power MV & LV;
- Fiber Optic
- Composite Power & Fiber Optic
The Tratos subsea cable range cover both applications:
-FMB – Forward Mounted Base;
-FPSO – Floating production storage and offloading
The cables have been tested extensively both in laboratory trials and
actual installations and have proven to be exceptionally reliable.
Subsea cables suit installations at depths up to 2000 metres
Oil&Gas Cables – Sub Sea
Subsea Optical Cables
For the first time we have manufactured a subsea single optical
cable over 19 km long. This was made possible thanks to our
recently built new production site and the installation of new
armouring and sheathing plant and winding structures capable of
handling reels with a flangediameter of up to 4 metres.
This production process hasinvolved the plant for over six
months, with 3 shifts per day and the constant engagement of a
40 people production team.
This subsea optical cable covering a distance of over 19
kilometres connects a mooring in the upper part of the
Adriatic Sea for ships transporting liquid gas to an inland
re-gassification centre.
Oil&Gas Cables - Umbilicals
Cables for Umbilical applications
An umbilical is a set of hoses electrical cables and tubes, that
transport hydraulic and chemical injection fluids, as well as
electrically transmitted signals and power. Its function is to activate
opening and closing mechanisms in the subsea oil and gas
production equipment monitoring the well’s characteristics
(temperature and pressure).
Tratos in JV with MFX of Brazil produces hydraulic, electro-
hydraulic and electrical umbilicals that are able to carry out
diverse activities for controlling chemical processes and injections for
subsea oil and gas extraction in wells located at depths up to 2500
metres and more. For specific application umbilicals have been
qualified for depths of 3000 metres. MFX has already produced more
than 500 km of umbilicals – all of which, from the earliest to the
most recent production, are functioning normally and fully complying
with the functions for which they were designed.
Oil&Gas Cables - Armaflex
Armaflex
Tratos Armaflex can be used in both dry and wet locations;
in ventilated, non-ventilated and ladder type cable ducting,
and is also suitable for direct burial.
Quantities start from as little as 100 mtr and up to 1500 mtr
in a continuous length. The interlocking armour is
available in both Aluminium and Galvanised Steel upon
request with a range of elements for use in automation,
control, lighting, data, coaxial, fire resistant and power.
The sheathing materials available include Low Smoke
Zero Halogen, MDPE and PVC; the interlocking armour is
available in a range of sizes with an internal diameter of
8.5mm up to 33.50mm with other sizes available upon
request.
Research & Development
Tratos, as part of a group tender has won a four year
contract worth €49 million to supply superconducting wire
for the world ITER reactor and the Japanese JT60SA.
The superconducting Cable-In-Conduit will be used in
the construction of magnets for these projects. ITER is an international project to design and build an experimental fusion reactor based on the "tokamak"
concept. The project, which is currently under construction in the South of France, is to demonstrate the
feasibility of energy production by controlled thermonuclear fusion.
The tender for the production of superconducting wire was put together by the Italian National Agency for
New Technologies (ENEA) in conjunction with Tratos and Criotec (a specialist in components operating at
extremely low temperatures). The excellent results achieved from the prototypes enabled the group to
participate fully in the tendering process on an international stage with high level competitors, eventually
leading to the award of the contract.
Tratos will be involved in the first stage of the contract, processing the specialised superconducting material,
worth €90 million and supplied by Fusion for Energy (F4E), at its plant in Pieve Santo Stefano in Italy, after
which it will be transported to Criotec near Turin for final assembly.
ICAS (Italian Consortium on Applied Superconductivity) has been formed to manage the contract. The
complete project will be coordinated and overseen by ENEA to ensure the supplied components are of the
highest quality.
Superconductivity is the ability of certain metals, alloys and ceramic materials to let electrical current flow with
no electrical resistance and energy dissipation.The critical values of temperature, magnetic field and current
density are specific characteristics of each superconductor material.

Research & Development
Tratos is pleased to announce the launch of an innovative new
MV Overhead Bare Conductor made with annealed aluminium
extruded around a supporting steel core.
With the cost of copper and aluminium base metals having risen
dramatically during the past decade and set to continue,
traditional Overhead Conductors are becoming increasingly
expensive and are also prone to theft. The new MV Overhead
Bare Conductor developed by Tratos and its partners does not
use copper, bringing the cost down. In fact the new Overhead
Conductor has wide ranging cost benefits as not only does it
come at a lower price point, but in line operational and end of life
dismantling costs are reduced.
The conductor has been developed in conjunction with Italy’s largest power company Enel SpA,
Cesi Ricerca SpA and De Angeli Prodotti SpA as a cost-effective alternative to standard
Overhead Conductors.
Even with this cost benefit, the new Overhead Conductor retains high performance levels, with the
ability to meet increased power demands, seasonal power peaks and backup of faulty feeders,
thus improving network flexibility.
Other key advantages of the new Overhead Conductor include a considerably reduced carbon
footprint during manufacture and resistance to vandalism due to its unusual structure. This
structure makes it difficult to extract the aluminium and the lack of copper contained in it also make
it less appealing to potential thieves.
