Corinth Pipeworks secures landmark offshore contracts in the North Sea

Corinth Pipeworks, a global supplier of steel pipes and solutions for the energy and construction sectors, has been awarded two offshore contracts in the North Sea from Subsea7. The projects, Bestla in Norway and Bittern in the UK, further establish Corinth Pipeworks’ strong geographical presence in the region and underscore its long-term relationships with key customers. The Bestla project is operated by OKEA is located in the Norwegian Continental Shelf, approximately 13km south of the Brage Field. The scope of the contract includes the supply of 12.5km of 14" high frequency welded (HFW) steel pipes. The development plan for Bestla involves a two-well subsea tie back to the Brage platform, which will serve as the host facility for production, processing and export of gas and liquid fuels from the Upper Jurassic Sognefjord Formation. The Bestla project aims to create additional value through cost An important details of Corinth Pipeworks’ approach to these projects is the inclusion of external coating applications, which will be performed at the same location as the pipe manufacturing. Corinth Pipeworks is uniquely equipped to apply external coating to 22.9m steel pipes within its own facility. It is a leading steel pipe manufacturer for the global energy and construction sector with projects executed in more than 55 countries worldwide. Corinth Pipeworks www.cpw.gr Heat exchanger tubes to be used in the conversion of Swedish jet fuel refinery Subsea7 will manage the installation of the lined pipeline effective solutions that leverage existing infrastructure. Corinth Pipeworks’ involvement in this project illustrates its ability to support innovative approaches to maximise resource extraction while minimising costs. In the UK Central North Sea, the Bittern project entails the manufacture and supply of approximately 22km of HFW steel pipes for a 12" water injection pipeline, scheduled for installation in 2025. Located approximately 190km east of Aberdeen, this pipeline will replace the existing line to maintain reservoir pressure support for the life of the Bittern field. Subsea7, the main contractor, will manage the installation of the lined pipeline, subsea structures and tie-ins at the Triton Floating Production Storage & Offloading vessel and the Bittern field.

The processes in refineries often place high demands on the materials used and renewable fuels are particularly challenging. The raw materials used usually contain chlorides, which can cause corrosion. Therefore, special materials are required that can withstand high temperatures and aggressive chemical environments without corroding. Group Coek a heat exchanger manufacturer and one of Alleima’s long standing customers, booked the order with Preem. “Before a decision could be made, we conducted extensive lab tests together with Preem, which showed that Sanicro ® 35 can withstand the extreme conditions and process environments of the pre treatment plant. This resulted in a strong alternative to the more expensive nickel based alloys that are otherwise used,” said Barinder Ghai, director technical marketing, new business development for the tube division at Alleima. Alleima www.alleima.com

will reduce fossil fuel production by a corresponding amount. “Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is one of the great challenges of our time. I am therefore proud that Preem is now making the biggest change in the company’s history. We are doing this by converting the diesel plant at the refinery in Lysekil. When the conversion is complete, we will be Scandinavia’s largest producer of renewable jet fuel,” said Tommy Johansson, project manager for the ICR project at Preem. The changeover means that Preem will no longer use fossil raw materials such as crude oil, but renewable raw materials instead. To make this possible, advanced technology is required, not least in the pre-treatment unit (PTU) that is to be built. The raw materials will be pre-treated and purified at high temperatures before being used in the production of renewable fuels such as hydrotreated vegetable oil, the diesel made from vegetable oils or plant products and sustainable aviation fuel.

Alleima will supply Preem with heat exchanger tubes to be used in the conversion of the Lysekil refinery from fossil to renewable fuels. The investment is an important part of Sweden’s green energy transition and will make Preem the largest producer of renewable jet fuel in northern Europe. The redevelopment of Preem’s IsoCracker plant (ICR) in Lysekil started late 2024. Once completed, it will produce 1.2 million cubic meters of renewable fuels annually and reduce fossil carbon dioxide emissions at user level by two to three million tons annually. At the same time, Preem

Metal seated zero leakage isolation and control valve

Typical butterfly valves have good control limits between 30 and 70 degrees of travel. TRI-SHARK valves significantly extend this range through its throttling trim cartridge. The design of the cartridge and valve, in terms of flow, is such that ideal flow control is possible in this range. Further advantages of TRI-SHARK valves are anti-cavitation properties. The flow is divided by the slots and reduces cavitation, as the vapour bubbles created in the area of the cartridge slots reach a smaller size due to the lower flow rate of each channel. As a result, the energy generated when the vapour bubbles implode is lower. The valves are also able to direct water jets concentrically to the centre of the pipe, especially at small opening angles, thus converting the kinetic energy to a lower level in the fluid before contacting the pipe wall. Less damage to the pipe wall can then occur. As the mass flow through the Sharktooth choke slots is divided into smaller parts, the sound frequency increases, and sound can be more easily absorbed by the pipe because the frequency is in a range where the human ear is less likely to perceive it. Another important aspect of the throttling trim cartridge is that the dynamic torque reduced by the altered

Zwick has incorporated a throttling trim cartridge into its triple offset butterfly valves, which turns it into an excellent control valve. This revised design is equivalent in control performance to a globe valve or rotary plug valve, but has better shut-off characteristics. Combining the throttling trim cartridge with the TRI-CON triple offset butterfly valve series creates TRI-SHARK, the leakage free shut-off and control triple offset butterfly valve. This control valve offers several advantages. It includes all the advantages of triple eccentric butterfly valves and has all the special characteristics of an excellent control valve. One type of valve can now be used for both open-close and control applications. The throttling cartridge is designed closed to the swivel movement of the butterfly disc to keep the flow between disc and cartridge as low as possible. The cartridge is also manufactured with several optimised slots that divide the flow and release a precisely calculated cross-section when the valve opens or closes. With the throttling trim cartridge the valve´s flow characteristic is changed to an equal percentage flow characteristic, which is known as the preferred inherent flow characteristic for most control applications. TRI-SHARK´s flow characteristic ensures that the valve provides an effective control range at 5 up to 30 degrees of travel, the control area where traditional triple eccentric butterfly valves seem to reach their limits.

pressure field. This means that at critical opening angles and flow conditions in relation to the dynamic torque that occurs a smaller actuator with less torque can be used. TRI-SHARK can be offered in various designs. In addition to the standard Lug Type and Sharktooth design, integrated versions like double flange and valves with buttweld ends (DN800, DN700 Trim) are also available.

This not only lowers installation costs, but increases the speed of deployment, allowing more to be installed in the same time frame, enhancing overall revenue. Composites also excel in corrosion resistance. In harsh marine environments, where wide diameter tubes might serve as structural support for piers, composites can have a service life that surpasses that of traditional materials like wood or steel, which can begin to corrode within five to ten years. While building standards and codes account for the expected durability of these materials, composites can offer a longer lifespan, translating to lower maintenance and replacement costs compared to metals. Future applications The role of wide diameter composite tubes is set to expand significantly as demand for sustainable infrastructure solutions grows. Their high strength-to-weight ratio makes them ideal for applications such as pedestrian bridge supports or in the rehabilitation of existing structures, offering a durable and low maintenance alternative to traditional materials. In robotics, the use of wide diameter tubes in large scale manipulators is expected to increase, with composites enabling the creation of lightweight yet robust structures. Similarly, in aerospace, these tubes could become integral to support structures for aircraft and spacecraft, contributing to weight reduction while maintaining strength. As engineering embraces these innovations, wide diameter composite tubes are becoming essential across projects from water infrastructure to modern aerospace due to their strength and durability. To see how these advancements can impact your projects, visit www.exelcomposites.com/composite-solutions/ composite-tubes/ and discover the benefits of composite materials.

Lauri Turunen, product manager for tubes, Exel Composites

This continuous production process involves drawing reinforcing fibres, such as glass or carbon, through a resin matrix and curing them in a heated die to create lightweight, durable profiles with exceptional precision. Pultrusion significantly reduces material waste and ensures consistent quality, making it an efficient and reliable solution for producing high performance tubes. For instance, glass fibre has a density of around 2.5g/cm 3 , approximately 75 per cent less than steel at 7.85g/cm 3 , despite possessing superior strength. This gives composites an edge over other materials. Although glass fibre may come at a higher material cost, its lighter weight makes it quicker to install and requires few personnel, ultimately lowering labour costs and speeding up project timelines. A case in point is EasyStreet Systems, a company that uses and installs composite utility poles for smart infrastructure projects. By opting for lightweight composites, it can reduce the installation time, and the number of staff required, with many poles being installable by a single person.
