changes in temperatures, while at sea a high corrosion resistance is demanded. In
additon, we know of applications that are used just below the water surface or have to
withstand the high ambient pressure in a few thousand meters under water.

SHIP AND SHIP EQUIPMENT
For oil and LNG tankers, similar safety regulations to those
on oil rigs apply. There are also all kinds of electronics and
mecanics in a very small space here. Examples include loading
and unloading equipment on a tanker, lifting and winching
systems as well as flap control systems and ball valves.

ROV (REMOTELY OPERATED VEHICLE)
To maintain an oil rig or pipeline, ROVs are used from a
certain water depth. During a mission which lasts several
days or weeks in a water depth of up to 4000 m, the ROV can
perform the smallest movement sequences with the gripping
arms, but also heavy work thanks to the specially developed
pressure-compensated hydraulic valves. Precise mobility and
manoeuvrability under water is essential. The ROV has this
ability from the integrated hydraulic thruster control, which
uses a non-polluting fluid like the whole hydraulic system.

FURTHER PROCESSING INDUSTRY
Safety is also the highest priority in the further processing
of the extracted energy sources. Refineries are technically
complex industrial facilities with countless pipes, valves and
separation plants. The entire area inside and outside a refinery
is one of the highest rated protection zones for explosion
hazard areas.
