Overview

The patented AOGV mechanical isolation system installs a barrier between a flange pair on a pressurized system whilst in continuous operation. Unlike alternative isolation technologies, the AOGV allows our customers to safely isolate process segments for inspection, maintenance, or repair without a cashflow shutdown!

The AOGV mechanical isolation system was installed on the outlet of an inlet separator, to enable cleaning of accumulated produced sand in the system. The AOGV system was fitted with ports to enable the use of water and nitrogen to flush the system. By using the AOGV the offshore production facility could remain in full production until a later planned turnaround.
