About the System
The RDCS (Rapid Deployment Oil Containment System) consists of an underwater three phase separator mounted to a base frame withmudmats and an ROV platform. The separator is placed subsea directly over the hydrocarbon leak either on the seabed or on a sunkenvessel to collect the leaking oil. Oil, gas and water are separated whereby the water is displaced out the bottom of the separator, gas isvented and oil is collected in the upper section of the separator until it can be offloaded using a remote operated vehicle or diverequipped with a hydraulic pump and an offloading hose to a surface vessel (see schematic).
