The Marine Riser Tension System is used on rigs and vessels to ensure constant tension for optimal riser stability. In recent years we have developed several types of wire tensioning systems.
It is crucial that the tensioner can manage differential movements between the riser and the rig as the riser is connected to the wellhead on the seabed. Without a tensioner the riser will buckle when the rig moves downward and stretch when the rig rises.
The use of hydro-pneumatic in a system comprising a hydraulic cylinder, accumulator and wire sheaves enables compensation for rig movements and maintains constant wire tension. We possess the design of several types of Marine Riser Tension System with different stroke lengths, power and interface, and we readily adapt these systems to individual customer needs.
