Leading the field in suppression systems since 1979.
Allbrown Universal Components Ltd has been designing and supplying Vortex Shedding Suppression systems since 1979. As first in the field using non-metallic strakes, we have continued to develop improvements in performance and to attachment methodology.
On this site you will find descriptions of the vortex shedding phenomena, why VIV can cause operational delays and downtime and even more importantly, how Allbrown Universal can engineer its suppression.
The Allbrown Universal Strake System for VIV Suppression.
The system was first used in 1979 for British Hydrocarbons in the English Channel , it has since evolved into what it is today. Over the 36 years it has undergone constant improvement in terms of materials and attachment methodology.
The Ventilated Trouser VIV Suppressor (the VT).
The VT suppressor comprises a loose fitting sleeve with a net substructure and integral bobbins. The bobbins are arranged in a particular configuration and are designed in such a way that coherent vortex shedding is suppressed.
