Aker Solutions - an example of a company taking action to protect the ocean

During the United Nations Ocean Conference, we wanted to give you an example of a company taking action to protect the Ocean. Read on......

Why has Aker Solutions decided to use Pinovo's Clean Sustainable vacuum blasting solution for surface treatment of welds inside the new Equinor FPSO, Johan Castberg at Stord in Norway?
 
Besides the industrial advantages of the solution for the work site and operators - no dust, no damage to surrounding equipment which can continue operating, etc., there is also a material, quantifiable sustainability impact 

- No Paint Microplastic, Grit and Dust Leakage into the Ocean - SDG's 12 and 14. 
- Over 60% less CO2 Emissions compared to open grit blasting - SDG’s 9 and 12.
- Much better working conditions for Operators - SDG 8.
