Soft Landing Control System
The Soft Landing Control System was designed and delivered by Innova Aker Subsea to ensure controlled landing of the Åsgard Subsea Compression modules. Åsgard Subsea Compression is the world’s first subsea gas compression plant, and was put on-line by Statoil in 2015.
Read MoreTactical Sensor Unit
Innova has developed and built 5 Tactical Sensor Units (TASSEN) for the Norwegian Navy. The sensor units are based on Innova’s data logger technology. The TASSEN units are autonomous data logger systems, designed to monitor mine sweeps. The system consist of subsea sensor unit, wireless data transmission system and surface monitoring and signal processing software. The battery…
Read MoreIntervention tooling control systems
Based on standardised subsea control building blocks, Innova have delivered a number of electro-hydraulic control systems for subsea intervention tooling applications. Our continously expanding family of networked control modules and the LINK family of fibre optic communication products, combined with in-hous electronics, mechanical and hydraulic design expertise, enable us to provide customised solutions for any…
Read MoreSubsea excavator control system
Innova was approached by Scanmudring, a company then working with inshore trenching and excavating at low depths, to modify an excavator for deep water use.By removing the motor and control system, and replacing this with a subsea hydraulic power unit and advanced electro-hydraulic subsea control system, the standard constuction excavator was converted into a full…
Read MoreHywind floating wind turbine
(Photo: Trude Refsahl/Statoil) Innova AS has delivered the instrumentation package under contract to Technip for Statoil’s Hywind floating offshore wind turbine. Hywind is the world’s first floating wind turbine, and was installed west of Karmøy, Norway, in 2010. The instrumentation package includes: Stain gauges for windmill base structure Anchor load monitoring Position and motion monitoring system…
Read MoreConocoPhilips Service Manipulator
The Service Manipulator is a service tool for handling of choke valves at Ekofisk 2/4x. The Service Manipulator is custom designed to meet the special requirements of the Conoco Philips EKO-X Platform. Restricted access and an active production area demanded safe and efficient handling equipment. A nearby overhead crane traveling along the valves was utilised…
Read MorePulse Monitoring System
The Pulse Monitoring System is an adaptation of the SeaDAQ subsea data logger technology to measure flow induced pressure pulses in a subsea pipeline. The pressure pulse can be identified by measuring the expansion of the pipe in the radial direction – almost like measuring the pulse through a blood vessel. However, unlike the human…
Read MoreRTS III
RTS III is the third generation of the Remote Tie-in System operated by Aker Solutions. Innova designed and manufactured the electro-hydraulic control system for the RTS III, replacing the older, PLC-based control system used on RTS I and II. Based on Innova’s modular subsea controller technology, the RTS III control system i a far more…
Read MoreRLWI Subsea hydraulic pump
The ability to provide local hydraulic fluid power is an important feature for enabling all-electric subsea well control and intervention applications. Fluid power is required for e.g. grease injection, chemical injection or valve actuation, and the fluid media can be water based or other chemicals with different viscosity and chemical properties. Innova’s subsea electrical motor…
Read MoreReactive Flex Joint
The Reactive Flex Joint (RFJ) is developed by FMC in cooperation with Statoil to reduce fatigue on wellheads. The flexjoint is landed on the BOP, and is designed to provide a counter-acting force to the bending moment applied on the wellhead by the riser load on the BOP. The counter-acting force is generated by the…
