Subsea Chemical Injection
Little Frank
Designed and built to improve efficiency and reduce the cost of flooding subsea systems, Little FRANK uses hydrostatic seawater head to flood subsea systems, without the need for a connection to a topsides vessel or installation. The system was designed to be more compact and lighter than the competition, reducing the deck space and lifting requirements associated with a conventional free flooding operation. This compact ROV-friendly design allows for the system to be manoeuvred easily for deployment and recovery to and from the seabed.
Little FRANK also has a bigger, bolder older brother: (big) FRANK, with all the same functionality but developed for larger systems requiring flooding and chemical injection.
Frank Features
Datalogging Capabilities
Kraken Subsea has integrated a data logging system into Little FRANK allowing the chemical flowrate, total chemicals injected, bulk water flowrate and total volume injected to be monitored and recorded during the free-flooding operation. This allows later data analysis to be carried out ensuring the system was correctly treated.
Autonomous System
Autonomous systems have been developed onboard Little FRANK which are capable of regulating the chemicals injected into the system. It is capable of adjusting the chemical injection rate to match the variable flowrates seen during free flooding. This ensures an even distribution of chemicals throughout the system.
Crew Reduction
Little FRANK’s key differentiator is that it requires no crew for most operations and only a single technician for ad-hoc maintenance and refilling for longer/multiply trips. This combined with a large reduction in deck space required compared to traditional flooding systems means smaller vessels can be used saving our clients significant coin.
