Raw Water/Pre-Loading Reel Systems provide an effective means of storing, lowering, and retrieving a hose at the end of which an ESP (Electrical Submersible Pump) is attached and run below the ocean surface to deliver seawater to an elevated offshore structure. The systems can be retrofitted to an existing vessel or supplied for new construction.

Raw Water/Pre-Loading Reel Systems provide an effective means of storing,
lowering, and retrieving a hose at the end of which an ESP (Electrical
Submersible Pump) is attached and run below the ocean surface to deliver
seawater to an elevated offshore structure. The systems can be retrofitted to an
existing vessel or supplied for new construction.
4. The hose reel system for raw water pump deployment is an improvement to the
conventional approach of mounting the pump in the leg. The pumps can be
quickly retrieved for inspection and maintenance at any time.An idle pump left in
water will very quickly accumulate sea growth and damage the pump. Plus, hose
reels eliminate the need for removing manifolding piping with the crane. Further
the hose reel system can save 100s of thousands of pounds when compared to
antiquated raw water towers.
Reel Power ME systems are capable of pulling up the pump in the shortest
possible time, ensuring the least rig downtime and decreasing overall operating
cost.
5. A complete Seawater Lift system is comprised of a reel with the hose, power
cable, safety cable, submersible pump/motor with all necessary controls.
Single-speed with soft start or variable frequency pump controls for better flow
control are provided.
Please contact us with your needs for us to design a suitable Seawater Lift system
for you.
6. More Information
Model/Option
The reel accommodates an OSD (oil suction & discharge) hose. At the end of the
hose, a suitable submersible deep well pump is attached. The entire weight of the
pump, motor, and accessories are supported by the hose alone, making it the
most maintenance-friendly, hassle-free compact lightweight system available in
the marketplace.
7. Options
Electric Slip Ring Options: A electrical slip ring allows pumping continuously
while jacking up or down. Slip ring may be by-passed in case of failure
Alternate Hose Capacities: 2”, 3”, 4”, 6”, 8”, 10”, 12” hose capacities available.
Various hose lengths available
Hose Options: Standard and fire-resistant hoses
Reel Drive Options: Pneumatic, Electricand Hydraulicdrives are available
8. Pump Drive Options: Variable Frequency and Soft Start Single Speed
areavailable
Remote Control Panel Option: Remote control panels are available for ease of
operation from the deck, primarily used with the above platform options
Chute: To maintain pump/hose position in high winds, waves and current
Platforms Options: Single and double (parallel or tandem) reel platforms are
available to raise the reel off the deck and provide additional storage space under
the platform.
9. Platforms are complete with safety railing and access latter
Lifting Accessories Option: Certified single point lift spreader bar, lifting slings &
shackles
3rd Party Certification: ABS, DNV or NK certifications available

13. Value Proposition
Reel Power systems provide the safest and most reliable seawater supply for
offshore jack-ups. For rigs and vessels, the Reel Power systems can retrieve the
pump more easily for periodicmaintenance in the shortest possible time,
ensuring the least rig down time and decreasing overall operating cost.
Advantages:
Greater Flexibility for Pump Access
Raise the pump out of water any time when not pumping reduces sea growth
14. Does not require the use of crane to pull manifold piping (dangerous operation)
Quickly retrieve the pump for maintenance any time
Easier & Faster Rig Moves (more important with frequent rig moves
of Lift Boats)
Fire water pumping available when jacking up & down
No heavy manifold blinds and jumper hoses to lift & make-up
One man deployment and retrieval
15. Lower Operating Costs
Less Ocean Life grows in Hoses than steel pipes
Easier and less costly to replace a hose than manifold piping
Additional Benefits
Higher flow rates due to less ocean life growth
Often able to operate in shallower water making your vessel more marketable
If you are a jack-up rig or vessel owner or builder we'd like to share the many
benefits of these systems and Reel Power’s extensive experience and capabilities
with hose reel pumping systems.
