USFilter Skid
Scope of Work - In 2001, Elliott Bay
Design Group (EBDG) was contracted by USFilter to perform a finite
element stress analysis to optimize the structural sizes of a
seawater filter skid unit and a custom lifting beam. The unit is
installed on a Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessel (FPSO)
which will produce the Bijupera & Salema field, in water depth
ranging from 400 m to 870 m offshore Brazil.
The seawater filter skid supports three pressure vessels with
associated mechanical outfit. A separate smaller skid base which
supports the associated strainer system was also analyzed. The
purpose of this stress analysis was to determine if the skid
structural beams provide adequate strength to meet the specified
strength criteria. A custom spreader beam was also designed for
installing the seawater filter skid using similar methodology. The
skid design and analysis was submitted to ABS for approval.
