Diverless Bend Stiffener Connectors for Flexible Pipe Risers
Diverless Bend Stiffener Connectors for Flexible Pipe Risers
Diverless Bend Stiffener Connectors (BSC’s) for Risers
The Bend Stiffener Connector (BSC) is a field-proven system to facilitate “diverless” connection of Umbilical and Flow line bend stiffeners to an I-tube or J-tube. Over 100 Bend Stiffener Connectors have been supplied by DTI for projects in GoM, West Africa, Brazil and South East Asia.
The BSC consists of a funnel assembly pre-installed on the I-tube and a shaft assembly secured to the bend stiffener. The shaft assembly is pulled into the funnel assembly and is auto-latched to the funnel assembly with the spring loaded dogs in the latching mechanism on the funnel assembly
Benefits:
Our Diverless Bend Stiffener Connectors offer.
- Improved safety, minimizes scheduling risks & lower cost by eliminating the need for diving operations
- Time Saving with a single step installation process to lock the shaft in the funnel assembly
- Design can be scaled and customized to meet load/ functional requirements
- Fully Reversible
- Primary design options include the BSC with Hold Back Clamp & BSC with Pull Head Release Mechanism
- Options include Nut Retainer Assembly (to allow diverless installation of funnel assembly on I-tube, Remote operation of BSC with hydraulics and fully automated installation with no ROV intervention
