Aibel: Green Energy for Three Million British Homes

For many years, Stryvo has been supplying the energy industry, continuously adapting and developing the products manufactured and delivered to this sector. This has resulted in a product that is particularly well-suited for some of the world’s largest offshore wind farms.

When Aibel began the development of the converter platforms for the Hornsea 3 Offshore Wind Farm, which is based on the same concept as the platforms for Dogger Bank Wind Farm, they needed a supplier of specially developed seawater filters. Arjun Krishna is the Project Package Buyer at Aibel. He was introduced to Stryvo through colleagues from the Dogger Bank project, who had previously collaborated with Stryvo. Krishna highlights communication as a key reason why Stryvo was again considered a partner for Aibel.

Background

Aibel specializes in developing and building innovative and efficient solutions to create value in its clients’ projects. Especially within the energy sector, Aibel is known for its smart and sustainable solutions. Aibel is involved in some of the world’s largest offshore wind farms, and when looking for suppliers of specially developed seawater filters, Stryvo was one of the suppliers capable of meeting the requirements.

«Stryvo has been a good supplier for the seawater filters, and we have received positive feedback from the project team throughout the collaboration. The choice of supplier ultimately landed on Stryvo, based on the experiences we have had in other offshore wind projects.”»

The Solution

Stryvo produces automatic backwash filters in a variety of models. These filters are particularly suited for the treatment of water and emulsions and are the result of many years of experience and development. The design and production of the filters comply with NORSOK EN 13445.

Stryvo has delivered a total of five filter systems to Aibel. Three systems were delivered to Dogger Bank Wind Farm (in 2021 and 2022) and two systems to Hornsea 3 Wind Farm (in 2023 and 2024). The filter system consists of two filters that can operate alternately.

The Results

Some of the benefits of the filters are that they are fully automatic, can operate even during cleaning, and have extremely long durability. This is crucial for an unmanned platform like those Aibel delivers to Hornsea 3.

Throughout the project, Aibel and Stryvo have had weekly meetings. These meetings have been crucial to ensuring smooth delivery. The handover from Aibel to the end customer is scheduled for 2027.
