BOP Accumulator Bottle inspection and Certification

Repair and Certification of Accumulator bottles, used in the BOP Control System to store hydraulic energy or, in some applications, dampen system pressure fluctuations. Energy is stored by compressing a pre-charged gas bladder with hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic pumps. The fluid volume and pre-charge pressure of the accumulators determine the amount of hydraulic energy that is available to operate respective BOP stack functions. Surface controlled BOP Control Systems are design to provide sufficient accumulator capacity to enable the blowout preventer to be operated in the absence of any additional power sources.
