FPSO Expertise
Kato Engineering's generators are the industry leader in providing power to FPSOs (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) all over the world. With over 40 years of experience working with the Oil & Gas industry, Kato Engineering understands the needs and challenges of all types of FPSO power generation: prime, emergency, essential, and more.
Modern rigs and other offshore vessels have more motors, control systems, and electrical circuits than older installations and therefore increased operation complexity. Our ability to create both custom power solutions (for unique applications) or global designs (for ease of replacement) cater to these needs.
Kato Engineering designs and manufactures alternators from 10kw up to 25MW with many customizable options and enclosures. We have multiple models in the following Oil & Gas ranges:
| Poles | Maximum Continuous Rating (at max speeds) | RPM |
| 4 | 464 kW - 25 MW | 1500/1800 |
| 6 | 1 MW - 8 MW | 1000/1200 |
| 8 | 1 MW - 6.6 MW | 750/900 |
Standards and Certifications
We design power generation systems that comply with international standards and meet/exceed industry standards for performance, reliability, maintainability and compactness.
