Offshore Ventilators Worldwide – Solutions for Oil, Gas and Wind Energy Platforms

Reliable Ventilators for Offshore Applications Worldwide

Witt & Sohn AG develops and manufactures high-performance ventilators for use on offshore platforms, drilling rigs and wind energy installations worldwide. Our ventilators are designed for continuous operation under demanding offshore conditions – high humidity, salt water exposure and strong vibrations. With over 80 years of engineering experience "Made in Germany", we offer tailor-made ventilator solutions for the oil and gas industry as well as offshore wind energy.

Explosion Protection According to the ATEX Directive

For potentially explosive atmospheres, ventilators can be designed in accordance with ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU and project-specific requirements. Equipment group, category and zone classification are determined for the respective project. This results in suitable solutions for ventilation and extraction in areas with fire and explosion risk.

Corrosion Protection for Maritime Offshore Environments

Salt water, high humidity and constant weather exposure place special demands on materials and coatings. We use stainless steel and special corrosion protection coatings, tailored to project-specific requirements. This supports a long service life and low-maintenance operation even under demanding offshore conditions.

Application Areas on Oil, Gas and Wind Energy Platforms

Our ventilators are used worldwide on production platforms, FPSO vessels (Floating Production Storage and Offloading), drilling rigs, offshore wind farm substations as well as in process plants of the oil and gas industry. We supply solutions for engine room ventilation, process air, emergency ventilation and overpressure systems.

Worldwide Project Support from Pinneberg near Hamburg

From our company headquarters in Pinneberg near Hamburg, we support offshore projects worldwide – from individual ventilator design and technical consultation to on-site commissioning. Our international partner network ensures short response times and reliable service, even for projects far from the German coast.

Frequently Asked Questions about Offshore Ventilators

Which certifications do your offshore ventilators meet?
