AVC- The Development of Syntactic Foams for Use In Subsea Buoyancy Modules

AVC为作业深度有限的海上工业设计和制造浮力解决方案。这些限制来自于处理语法泡沫的复杂性。该项目与ASTUTE合作，提出在旋转成型的外壳中浇注/注入复合泡沫作为解决方案。ASTUTE的技术技能，模拟和实验将使我们能够准备样品，这些样品将被测试和改进，直到我们的工艺可用于工业用途。一个成功的解决方案有望实现，使我们能够大规模生产深海浮力模块。短期内，这将使我们公司在海底行业中开拓更广阔的市场，增加我们的收入。从长远来看，预计这将有利于更广泛的威尔士和英国经济。

AV Coatings (AVC) designs and manufactures buoyancy solutions for offshore industries with limited operating depths. These limitations arise from the complexities associated with processing syntactic foam.This project proposes a pour/injected syntactic foam in rota-moulded shells as a solution and is in collaboration with ASTUTE. ASTUTE's technical skills, simulations and experiments will allow us to prepare samples which will be tested and refined until our process is viable for industry use.A successful solution is expected to be achieved, allowing us to mass-produce deep-sea buoyancy modules. Short term, this will expose our company to broader markets within the subsea industry, increasing our revenue. Long term, it is expected that this will benefit the wider Welsh and UK Economies.
