Increase your BOP available volume with Depth Compensated Accumulators!!


Depth Compensated Accumulators (DCB)

A great option to add volume for deeper waters without adding weight to your BOP, while increasing reliability.


"When you are in deep water, you need Reel Power Marine & Energy"

Reel Power Marine & Energy patented innovative depth compensated accumulators reduce subsea equipment weights, lower maintenance requirements and improve equipment access.

Here are 5 important reasons to consider our DCBs:

  • Set it and forget it! Once the nitrogen pre-charge is set, you don’t have to worry about changing for various water depths, saving non-productive time setting pre-charge as well as minimizing calculations and personnel intervention. Great for stack hopping!
  • Save weight and space. DCBs can usually save weight and space on your subsea packages when compared to conventional piston accumulators - some applications have saved 40% in accumulator weight!
  • Greater efficiency. DCBs are especially effective in over 6000 ft water depths. DCBs are greater than 95% efficient by available volume while conventional are less than 15% efficient in deep water depths.
  • Lower maintenance. Generally, the fewer bottles result in a cleaner system with less piping and lower maintenance requirements.
  • Proven performance. The Reel Power Marine & Energy DCBs are proven in deep offshore drilling BOPs with an installation base in the hundreds.

If you have a subsea control system with multiple conventional bottles, we’d be happy to size up the DCBs as an alternate, to give you a comparison. Contact us.
