Offshore

EcoDesign in rough seas

Some 80 years of experience of the Witt group have been incorporated into the development of our fans for offshore installations.

 

End-users benefit not only from the high efficiencies but also from the durable design and the high manufacturing levels especially well-suited for offshore-specific requirements such as corrosion and explosion protection. In order to integrate the components ideally into systems or skids special solutions and designs are built.

Some individual industries

Oil and gas production platforms, pipe-laying ships and crane vessels, etc.

Frequently Asked Questions about Offshore

What requirements apply to fans on offshore platforms?

Fans on offshore platforms must operate reliably even under moisture, salt water, wind and corrosive conditions.

 

What solutions are available for offshore wind turbines?

Fans are used to ventilate and cool nacelles, technical rooms and electrical components in wind turbines.

 

How are fans protected against salt water and corrosion?

Special coatings, corrosion-resistant materials and tailored surface protection systems ensure a long service life.

 

Which ATEX requirements can be met?

For potentially explosive atmospheres, fans can be built in accordance with ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU and project-specific requirements. The applicable equipment group and category are defined for each individual project.

 

What role do fans play in offshore processes?

Fans support ventilation, cooling and air routing in technical installations and contribute to operational safety.

 

How is operational safety ensured under extreme conditions?

Robust construction, high-quality materials and regular maintenance ensure safe, reliable operation.
