W R Systems, Ltd (WRSystems) have been awarded a prestigious contract to supply its cutting-edge laser-based Emsys Emissions Monitoring System (EMS) to a major offshore drilling contractor for three drilling ships/rigs located in the Gulf of Mexico.
The EMS will be incorporated into the vessel’s proprietary data management technology, to provide compliance with each vessel’s EPA Air Permit requirements.
It is understood Emsys was selected following a detailed evaluation of the current EMS technology. The high accuracy, high reliability and minimal calibration requirements of the system made it the obvious choice.
WRSystems are also carrying out a significant Engineering Design Package to ensure the EMS system is properly integrated into each vessel’s sophisticated data network.
WRSystems has been working with the drilling contractor for over a year in preparation for these highly important projects. The recent change to the EPA Air Permit requirements in the Gulf of Mexico has required all drilling contractors to re-evaluate their compliance strategies. The proprietary data acquisition technology utilised on these projects are highly unique and have been developed in partnership with engine manufacturers, turbocharger suppliers and WRSystems. The operating profiles of these vessels make standard emissions monitoring systems unsuitable for this highly complex monitoring application; therefore, the contractor sought to combine the best available technologies with their internally developed data system.
Speaking about the contract, Megan Jones, Emsys Program Manager explained, ‘We are thrilled to have secured these strategically important contracts. WRSystems has developed Emsys to be significantly different from the standard EMS offerings, and these contracts, combined with other recent successes, have justified the long term investment of the company in Emsys. Our customer was not looking for a product; they wanted a bespoke solution to their particular requirements, and a company that had a track record of delivering engineering solutions to the highest industry standards.
