FPSO - types of heaters
FPSO - types of heaters
(OP)
I'm doing a feasibility study for a novel marine process that has some similarities to FPSO. I haven't personally worked on FPSOs before, so was hoping to get some guidance from engineers more familiar with FPSO design than I am.
What types of process heating systems are typically used on an FPSO. Fired heaters?
Do FPSOs ever use any heat recovery/integration between ship engine systems and process operations, or are these always kept completely separate?
Can anyone recommend a suitable fired heater vendor who supplies to FPSO clients?

RE: FPSO - types of heaters
Some FPSOs use the old steam boiler system (plus new boilers if needed) to supply steam to new power generators on topsides - as an alternative to the GTs.
