Hydraulic Energy Australia designed and manufactured a purpose-built Test and Flushing Hydraulic Power Unit to support factory acceptance testing, system readiness testing, and proof-pressure testing of Subsea Control Modules within a dedicated workshop environment in Perth.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The HPU was engineered to integrate with existing workshop infrastructure while delivering reliable hydraulic power for testing, flushing, and fluid conditioning operations. Designed for installation within a dedicated plant room, the system provides full front-access maintenance and complete compatibility with water-based subsea control fluids, ensuring efficient operation and long-term serviceability.
The completed unit combines high-pressure testing capability, low-pressure hydraulic supply, and advanced fluid management within a single compact skid-mounted package, meeting the cleanliness, reliability, and safety standards required for critical subsea equipment testing.
Key Features
- Compact Skid-Mounted Design: Optimised for installation within existing workshop facilities with minimal footprint.
- Full Front-Access Maintenance: Layout designed to improve serviceability and reduce downtime during ongoing operations.
- 316 Stainless Steel Wetted Components: All wetted components manufactured from 316 stainless steel for full compatibility with water-based subsea hydraulic fluids.
- Integrated Safety Systems: Dual emergency stop stations and low reservoir level shutdown protection incorporated throughout.
- Dedicated Filtration and Fluid Polishing: Filtration systems designed to maintain fluid cleanliness to AS4059 Class 6B-F.
- Seamless Workshop Integration: Compatible with existing workshop controls and testing infrastructure.
