UMOE Advanced Composites (UAC) is the leading global supplier of large fibre glass type IV pressure vessels and modules for high-capacity containment, storage and transportation of CNG, biogas and hydrogen for land-based, marine and offshore applications.Composite materials have lightweight, very robust, non-toxic and non-corrosive properties, eliminating risk of galvanic oxidization. UAC pressure vessels have wide temperature tolerances (-40°C/+65°C), excellent fatigue properties, durable lifetime and ultimate safety levels, compared to steel and carbon-fibre solutions. Fibre glass pressure vessels are a price competitive alternative to carbon fibre cylinders. UAC pressure vessels for gas storage and transportation are type-approved according to EN 12245-3, ADR/TPED/PED.
Our solutions for transportation of CNG, biogas and hydrogen consist of UAC type IV fiberglass pressure vessels, fixed in all-metal ISO standard or High Cube modules, or in MEGC hook-load containers.
The combination of low weight, high-strength fibre glass pressure vessels and lightweight design of our fully metal transportation modules offer optimized space utilization for transportation of larger gas volumes, while ensuring highest safety measures in case of collision or overturned vehicle.
UAC MEGC hook-load containers are designed to offer a more flexible and operationally viable solution. These modules are delivered with a steel hook frame and aluminum container walls, for easy loading/offloading by the equipment on the truck or onto a trailer.
We supply standard configurations and tailored solutions to meet specific customer and regulatory requirements, and offer design and structural analysis for integration of UAC pressure vessels onto clients’ own transportation units.
We are breaking new ground by offering safe and price-competitive solutions for optimal containment, storage and transportation of larger volumes of compressed gases, challenging traditional steel and carbon fibre alternatives.
OFFSHORE: UAC lightweight, high-strength, non-corrosive pressure vessels deliver optimized performance, increased safety, reduced lifecycle costs and long service life in harsh offshore environments.
We have delivered more than 3 000 pressure vessels for heave compensation accumulator systems to the global drilling fleet of high-spec semi-submersible drilling rigs and drill ships, as well as to large offshore cranes and winches for ultra-deepwater lifting operations.
UAC pressure vessels for drill strings and riser systems, cranes and winches are fitted with manometer, pressure transmitters, block & bleed valve, dip tube, drain valve and 2”- 3” isolation valves with actuator, if required.
UAC solutions for offshore applications are class-approved by DNV-GL, ABS, BV and Lloyds Register.
UAC ADVANTAGE: UAC fibre glass type IV pressure vessels and modules for containment, storage and transportation of compressed high-pressure gases offer numerous advantages, including weight reduction, space optimization, larger volumes, superior safety levels, high-strength durability, expanded service lifetime and cost-efficiency of the overall gas logistics.
