Advanced, digital capability flows through FourPhase, powering our thinking and allowing us to transform our sector, with the first fully automated solids separation systems. Digital integration is paramount in delivering world-leading technology.
Digitally-led automated solutions
FourPhase technology captures operations-critical data, by design. This has allowed us to build up the world’s largest solids management database.
By delivering the first automated solids management system with remote operation capabilities, we completely eliminated traditionally labour-intensive manual operations. This includes valve actuation, the flushing of pressure vessels and the weighing of removed solids.

Automation
Virtual analysis and design, real world benefits
At our headquarters in Bergen, Norway, we use the latest dynamic simulation techniques to replicate any solids production scenario. We combine this with digital twin technology to design and test our solutions to demonstrate anticipated results. This lean planning during the front-end engineering phase results in highly efficient execution, supported by virtual factory acceptance tests via video link.
Digital from the inside out
FourPhase is a digital-first organisation. From the RFID driven logistics centre that coordinates our inventory and operations, through to 3D modelling and testing, and our connected technology – we’re a digital powerhouse. Our advanced digital capabilities and insight allow us to remain at the cutting edge – and gives our customers the best possible experience.
Safety driven
Automation and remote operation reduces risk and potential for human error. With FourPhase technology, there are fewer Personnel On Board (POB) – and all operation and sequencing is automated. At the same time, monitoring can be carried out onshore, by multiple experts, at our Operations and Technology Centre.
Remote capabilities
“I have looked around a bit on other cyclones out of curiosity, and I do not know of anyone that can compete with FourPhase on automation. With FourPhase, you can sit in the control room instead of being on deck”

Total integration
Using OPCUA, FourPhase technology interfaces easily with existing digital enterprise ecosystems. This is achieved by integrating with the platform’s control system, the Data Historian or other third party interfaces. It’s robust – with system-critical data processed locally, ensuring operations continue, even if links to central processing are lost. There’s also manual back-up.
