The NXL 90-Gallon Hydraulic Accumulator skid provides a reliable source of hydraulic supply to actuate quads and combi/tandem blowout preventers. Our 56 HP diesel engine powers the system’s hydraulic pump, which charges six 15 US gal accumulator bottles. This design provides sufficient volume for multiple BOP ram actuation.
New API 16 ST standards recommend that an accumulator system provide enough hydraulic supply that an operator can close-open-close all ram sets and maintain at least 200 psi above pre-charge pressure once these actions are completed. The new 90-gallon accumulator from NXL is built to meet those standards.
