Brugg Pipes has delivered two double-walled stainless steel corrugated pipelines for use in a mobile LNG production platform in the Gulf of Mexico.
The flexible pipelines, each 220 m long and weighing 42 tons including the drum, were developed to the client’s specifications and certified according to the EN 1474-2 guideline for the safe transfer of liquefied natural gas.
They are now in service transporting production between the LNG production platform and floating storage units. Using the stainless steel corrugated pipes, the liquid gas produced is transported from three offshore drilling units to the ship and from there to the rest of the world.
Brugg’s vacuum-insulated pipe systems, manufactured in Germany, feature pressure sensors in the vacuum chamber to enable early detection of pressure drop.
