REHABILITATION & REPAIR

corrosion-resistant composite pipe and enables the maintenance of original flow rates for the life of the pipeline. This heavily reduces the activities, costs and environmental impacts that comes with replacing steel pipelines, and, when steel pipes do require rehabilitation, a flexible thermoplastic pipe can be pulled through the existing line, saving material and labour expenses.

Ready for anything Baker Hughes’ reinforced composite pipes have the strength of steel pipe, with increased durability, making them ideal for hydrocarbon fluid transport across a wide range of environments. The company also offers different lining options to suit the specific needs of different service requirements. When lined with HDPE, the pipes are corrosion free and possess good erosion resistance, making them suitable for produced and potable water pipelines, mining and crude oil. PA6 or PA12 Nylon lining leads to better erosion resistance, better chemical resistance and a low permeation to gases, which is suitable for flowlines, gathering systems and injection lines for gas,

Baker Hughes is now producing flexible, spoolable composite pipe.

oil, brine, slurries and chemicals. For the best corrosion resistance, lowest permeation to gases and a superior chemical and acid resistance, Baker Hughes offers composite pipes with a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) lining. These PPS-lined pipes can be used for crude oil, gas, brine, slurries and harsh chemicals in flowlines, gathering systems and injection lines.

In particular, PPS is suited to H2S, hydrogen and CO2 applications. To produce these piping solutions, Baker Hughes operates two state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, while its field services and engineering teams are able to collaborate with clients in real time to provide solutions on new installations, rehabilitations, and more.
