Speed and saety.Why induction heating is ideal

or oshore applications.Flameless, fast, controllable and mobilethese are just some of the features that make

induction perfect for a range of offshore applications.

Induction heating looks like it could have been in-

vented specially or the oshore industry. To start

with, its a fameless, no-contact heating method that

can be used in areas o-limits to open fames. In-

duction heating is mobile, too. Compact yet power-

ul induction systems are easily transported to even

the most inaccessible sites. Induction is also fexible.

The same system can be used or numerous appli-

cationsor everything rom pre- and post-heating

o pipes to emergency repairs on oshore installa-

tions.

Some typical applications

The fexibility o induction heating means it can be

used in practically any situation requiring ast, local-

ized and controllable heat. EFD Induction systems

can be used or the ollowing applications:

Post-weld heat treatment

Pre-weld heat treatment

Pre-heating beore coating

Tube bending

Shrink tting and removal

Removal o paint and coatings

Curing o coatings

Pre-heating prior to cladding

Pre- and post-heating o swaged ends

The EFD Induction Minac.Proven in the toughest

environments.Minac is one o EFD Inductions ve equipment

amilies, and the one most commonly used or

oshore applications. Many Minac models come

in Twin versions oering two independent power

outputs. The Twin versions eature split control panel

displays rom which each output can be set up and

controlled. Minacs can also be used together with

separate heating stations. This lets the Minac support

large, fexible coils that can be shaped onsite to t

curved or irregular-shaped workpieces.

EFD Induction systems have been used or hot tap

welding on the bed o the North Sea. Here, the subsea

work skid that stores the EFD Induction equipment is

hoisted back onto the ship.
