Technology development
Aker Solutions is committed to the development of new technologies and the optimisation of existing designs. Today we actively engage with the industry in the development and qualification of innovative technologies to address tomorrow’s process challenges.
In recent years there has been a step-change in the understanding of how crude oil separation and processing equipment performs under subsea, FPSO and high pressure applications. In conjunction with our own research and development, Aker Solutions welcomes the opportunity to engage with its clients in the identification of design improvements, which can be translated into initiatives in the following areas:
- Operability
- Reliability
- Size and weight reduction
- Process and control optimisation
Dedicated development team
Aker Solutions' leading position within the subsea and surface process separation market has led to the creation of a specialised separation technology development team. This team combines our extensive experience in developing technologies in these markets to deliver the next generation of separation solutions.
This holistic approach to research and technology development, combined with a heightened focus on customer requirements is fundamental in addressing the process challenges of tomorrows deepwater, HP/HT and heavy oil fields.
Joint development projects
Many of Aker Solutions' technologies are the result of collaborative development between the industry and key operators, to address specific development challenges. These range from improvements or modification for existing designs to meet project specific criteria, or the development of new, game changing technologies.
