Imenco do Brasil: Leading the Way in Mooring Chain Protection for FPSOs
As Brazil continues to strengthen its position as a global leader in offshore energy, Imenco do Brasil is playing a key role by delivering world-class solutions to some of the most pressing challenges in the Oil & Gas market in Brazil. At the heart of this effort is the PACU™ system – a proven and reliable retrofit solution designed to prevent corrosion and extend the life of mooring chains on FPSOs, FSUs, FLNGs, and other permanently moored offshore assets.
Imenco do Brasil is experiencing strong growth and was recently awarded a contract with Petrobras for the Búzios field, highlighting the increasing trust in their capabilities and local presence. Backed by over 40 years of global experience, and with in-house engineering and production facilities in Brazil, Imenco is uniquely positioned to support the region’s offshore sector with tailored, value-adding smart solutions.
One of the product areas considered to have the highest impact in the Brazilian offshore industry, are within the area of corrosion protection.
- The need for corrosion protection of mooring lines is critical to the operational safety of FPSOs and other floaters,” says Johan Tønsberg, CEO of Imenco Corrosion Technology. “Corrosion protection is one of the product areas with the highest market potential. Our PACU™ system is a fully tested and field-proven solution that can be installed on both new and in-service chains without disrupting operations.
Installing PACU™ significantly reduces maintenance costs, enhances operational safety, and dramatically lowers environmental impact – with up to 89% less CO₂ emissions compared to conventional chain replacement campaigns.
Corrosion protection as a Service (CPAAS)
Whether as an equipment purchase or through ‘Corrosion protection as a Service’ (CPAAS, with flexible, subscription-based models) Imenco ensures that corrosion protection is both effective and accessible. In a region like Brazil where warm waters and high salinity present severe operational challenges, Imenco’s field-proven corrosion-protection solutions are helping operators secure and life-extend the future of their offshore assets.
The team from Imenco Corrosion Technology will be at the FPSO Brazil Global Epicenter in Rio de Janeiro between May 13th to 15th and the FPSO Brazil Congress in Rio de Janeiro on May 20th to 23rd.
