Gas turbine cleaning
Gas Turbine Efficiency has developed the first cleaning concept for gas turbines using the same nozzle installation for on-line and off-line cleaning, thereby drastically reducing the installation and hardware cost. It is designed for use on every type of gas turbine, installation, or application - new or retrofit. The concept saves water, space, and weight, and has been subjected to extensive on-site and test cell tests, so that it offers the most cost effective cleaning program available.
Advanced drilling/production
GVA's business idea is to conceive, create and execute integrated conversion and newbuilding projects, preferably based on GVA - designs, within the semisubmersible drilling and floating production rig market. The GVA based-organization masters all basic disciplines such as general and project management, technical, finance, and legal. For large projects, experienced project people, from the extensive GVA network, extend the resources. GVA can take on projects ranging from conversions to newbuildings - whether on a project management or a turnkey basis.
Floating production
GVA Consultants specializes in the design and engineering of offshore floaters and ships. It has an extensive background in floating production vessels. Among these are the purpose-designed FPUs GVA 4500 Petrobras XVIII and Umoe/GVA 8000 Visund for Norsk Hydro. The company is engaged also in design of a Umoe/GVA FPU for Norsk Hydro's Troll C development and a Kvaerner GVA 70 FPU for Statoil's Aasgard B gas center (recently installed).
Powerful, versatile drives
Högglunds Drives has been working with manufacturers and operators of winches to optimize these applications for some 40 years. This experience and knowledge has made the Högglunds name well known for performance and reliability particularly within the mooring and lifting areas of the industry. Typical features of Högglunds winch drives are: high power capacity, up to 1,200 kW; withstand line pull at low and even zero speed, unlimited in time; very high mechanical and starting efficiency, no stick-slip effects; excellent low speed performance; and low inertia, so highly responsive to controls, and truly shock resistant.
