Condition monitoring of subsea processing equipment Client Statoil Challenge To develop and supply an optical condition monitoring system based on Bragg ?ber grating technology for subsea processing equipment. Resolution Smart Fibres developed and supplied an optical ?bre condition monitoring system which used dynamic, multi-parameter measurements to assess the health and performance of the equipment during quali?cation at Statoil’s test facilities. The supplied system was certi?ed by ATEX as inherently safe in Hazardous Zones 0, 1 or 2 with gas groups IIA, IIB or IIC, a pre-requisite for use in Statoil’s application. The project was delivered in the ?rst half of 2013 to align with Statoil’s planned quali?cation schedule. Test results are currently withheld due to client con?dent
