  • Publication number: 20230374894
    Abstract: It is described cylindrical subsea vessel (1) for separation of a flow, the vessel (1) comprising first and second longitudinal ends (T,1?), wherein the subsea vessel (1) comprises: —a liner (2); —at least one fluid inlet (3) and one fluid outlet (4, 5) into and out of an inner volume (7) of the vessel (1); —at least one flange (8) connected in one of the longitudinal ends (1?, 1?), wherein the at least one flange (8) and the liner (2) form the inner volume of the subsea vessel (1), and wherein the at least one flange (8) comprises at least one through-going opening (4,5,6) forming the at least one fluid inlet (3,4) and/or fluid outlet (5); —a load bearing structure (9) arranged outside the liner (2) and the at least one flange (8), wherein the load bearing structure (9) is of a composite material. It is further described a method of manufacturing the subsea vessel.

  • Patent number: 11713664
    Abstract: A subsea separator vessels includes single machined blocks integrated into a hull so as to combine all the valves used in the process of separating the multiphase fluid in the interior of the blocks. The separator vessels have by-pass valves in their blocks, if necessary to interrupt the separation process. The blocks function as a structure for the separating vessels, thereby replacing all of the metal structure necessary to support the tubes and valves of a conventional manifold, thus reducing the total area occupied by the separation station in the seabed.
