Tyr rotary lobe blowers and Samos side channel blowers from the Busch Group are used in this system, according to the German manufacturer. MRPC is a subsidiary of the Axtech Group, which specializes in heavy-duty lifting and handling equipment for the maritime and offshore industries.
The system minimizes the longitudinal and lateral movements to which such equipment is exposed at sea. This is particularly important for ships on which heavy lifting or winching work is carried out. The system ensures that a vessel remains within the permissible tilt range. This is achieved by quickly filling and emptying ballast tanks with large quantities of seawater. Compressors and vacuum pumps from Busch make it possible to adjust the volume in the tanks very quickly.
The buoyancy control system developed by MRPC is reliable, safe, energy-efficient and suitable not only for ships, but for all types of floating units. For example, this system can also be used to effectively keep wind turbines in balance. As the tilt of a wind turbine plays an important role in maintaining its performance, the system ensures higher productivity and a longer turbine life.
