Introduction In the offshore industry, preservation is a critical aspect of asset lifecycle management. Whether it’s during production downtime, lay-up, or between projects, preserving offshore equipment ensures longevity, functionality, and cost-efficiency. At Kent Offshore, we specialise in comprehensive solutions designed to minimise degradation and maximise operational readiness.
Why Offshore Preservation Matters Harsh marine environments are notorious for accelerating wear and corrosion. Saltwater, humidity, and fluctuating temperatures can rapidly degrade unprotected equipment. Without proper preservation, businesses face increased risks of equipment failure, costly repairs, and extended downtime. Offshore preservation is not just about maintenance—it’s about strategic protection.
Key Components of Effective Offshore Preservation
- Corrosion Protection: Application of anti-corrosion coatings, use of desiccants, and sealing of sensitive components to prevent rust and material fatigue.
- Moisture Control: Implementing humidity control measures, including dehumidifiers and vacuum sealing, to prevent mold and electrical malfunctions.
- Mechanical Preservation: Routine rotation and lubrication of moving parts to avoid seizing and ensure smooth reactivation.
- Electrical Preservation: Isolation, insulation, and regular testing of electrical systems to ensure functionality after reactivation.
