Knarr FPSO Project

The Knarr FPSO is a Floating Production, Storage & Offloading vessel being used in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea.  The FPSO was built in Korea by one of the world's largest shipbuilders.

Working in partnership with a major Scandinavian oil & gas supply company, Isolated Systems have produced High Temperature Pipe Insulation designed to meet the high specification & environmental conditions required.

Isolated Systems High Temperature Pipe Insulation is lightweight, fireproof, and suitable for temperatures up to 1000 degress Celsius.  It is pre-profiled & coated if required for fast and simple installation compared to seperate multilayer insulation solutions.

The project required 8,000m (4 miles) of 600mm long straight pipe sections, 6,000 off 45 & 90 degree formed bends & 1,200m² of radius and bevelled vessel cladding, with pipe diameters ranging from as small as ¾ inch up to large 24" pipes being insulated.

Isolated Systems organised the logistics, working to stringent prioritised delivery schedules with containers shipped to Korea.
