FPSO Liza Unity – autonomous skid-mounted fire-water pump package for offshore safety

When SBM / ExxonMobil needed a bespoke fire-water pump solution for the Liza Unity FPSO in Guyana’s Stabroek Block, they turned to Fischcon for a system that would run independently, meet ABS classification and pass NFPA 20 performance testing.

What we delivered

  • Three skid-mounted fire-water pump systems:
    • Normal duty: 1,500 m³/h @ 150 mwc each
    • Boost mode: 2,250 m³/h @ 119 mwc (150%)
  • Hydraulic-driven lift pumps installed below the waterline to prime instantly with seawater
  • Diesel-driven booster pumps located safely above the waterline for high-pressure delivery to the ring main
  • Fully autonomous control philosophy with remote start/stop, condition monitoring and automatic switchover
  • End-to-end engineering, construction and factory testing in-house, including flow testing to NFPA 20 and certification to ABS requirements

Why it matters

  • Offshore fire-water reliability – independent of FPSO utilities
  • Compact, skid-mounted layout – minimises deck modifications and speeds installation at Keppel (Seatrium), Singapore
  • Class-approved documentation – clears regulatory hurdles and supports fast-track project schedules
  • Custom engineering – each package tailored to the vessel’s footprint and process safety case
