STAVANGER, Norway – Blaze Manufacturing Solutions has introduced FLEX-FLO, a modular system for construction of flexible piping on offshore installations at ONS 2016.

The company describes this as an enhancement of its Flameshield 300 flexible deluge pipework product, which has been installed on numerous platforms.

It has been developed primarily for firewater deluge in asset life extension (ALE) and decommissioning projects, and for newbuild or existingoil and gas production, chemical processing, vessels, drilling and well test heat shielding applications.

Blaze claims FLEX-FLO is quick to install, does not require a production shutdown to construct, and provides flexibility when alterations are required.

Vinje Industri, established in 2000, is a specialist provider of mechanical and hydraulic assembly and maintenance.
