- the traction line 100 is engaged around the deflection member 64. It thus presents a first vertical section 102 extending between the upstream point 38 and the deflection member 64 and a second inclined section 104 extending between the deflection member 64 and the laying ship 90.
- the mooring lines 94 are released and the filling means 74 are activated to introduce liquid into the compartments 72 to reduce the buoyancy of the buoy 26.
- the traction line 100 is retracted into the laying ship 90 to pull the downstream point 38 towards the anchoring member 60 and thus guide the positioning of the riser 30 towards the anchoring element 25.
- the buoy 26 is then lowered and immersed completely in the body of water 12 to a depth greater than several tens of meters, in a region of the body of water 12 which is not affected by the swell and waves.
- the buoy 26 retains its horizontal orientation during the descent, with its axis A-A 'substantially vertical along its height.
- the flexible anchoring line 62 is then attached to the upstream point 38 and to the anchoring element 60. Then, the lower hose 36 is descended from the laying ship 90 to be connected on the one hand to the upstream point 38, and on the other hand to the bottom assembly 18.
- the buoyancy of the buoy 26 is possibly modified to apply between the downstream point 40 and the upstream point 38, via the buoy 26, a pulling force directed upwards, this force being compensated by the force of held by the anchor line 62.
- the riser 30 then extends vertically along the axis AA between its upstream point 38 and its downstream point 40.
- the continuous passage 54 of hydrocarbon circulation between the bottom assembly 18 and the surface assembly 22 is established successively through the lower section 28, the riser 30, the connection section 32 and the section. 34.
- the fluid collected by the bottom assembly 18 is then transported to the surface assembly 22 through the passage 52.
- a second installation 120 according to the invention is shown in FIG. 6.
- the tower 20 of the second installation 120 comprises a buoy 26 which has a second passage 78B that is substantially vertical through the buoy 26.
- the second passage 78 is delimited advantageously by a tube 83A J-shaped or "J tube” in English.
- the tube 83B thus has an upper portion 84B substantially parallel to the axis AA of the first passage 78A and a lower portion 85B inclined axis relative to the upper portion 84B, in particular an angle of between 30 ° and 65 ° .
- the inclined lower portion 85B projects downward from the lower surface 66A of the buoy 26.
- the tower 20 of the second installation 120 is otherwise identical to the tower 20 of the first installation 10.
- the implemented method of the tower 20 shown in FIG. 6 is analogous to the method of setting up the tower 20 shown in FIG.
- the intermediate portion 30 has no stiffener 42B and a guide member 42A
- the upper portion 34 has no stiffener 52B and a guide member 52A.
- the buoy 26 when setting up the tower 20, the buoy 26 is immersed in the body of water 12 while maintaining the U-shaped configuration of the intermediate section 30, between the laying ship 90 and the buoy 26 .
- the downstream point 38 is moved under the buoy 26 via a deployment line (not shown), after immersion of the buoy.
