Subsea to subsea pigging capability is incorporated into the design via in-line connections onto each FLET on the 16” rigid flowline onto which a subsea pig launcher and receiver will periodically be connected.

15

Cathodic Protection

A sacrificial cathodic protection system will be installed on the main 16” production flowline and associated in-line structures. Full shell bracelet Aluminium-Indium Alloy anodes will be strapped directly onto the pipeline MLPP and will be electrically connected to the linepipe. Anode design and supply will be in accordance with DNV-RP-F103. 

16
