THERMAL INSULATION
EUPEC provides thermal insulation solutions for both shallow and deep water pipelines at depths up to 3,000m. These coating systems ensure optimum product flow through steel subsea pipelines. The coating of pipes, bends, fittings and field joints provides efficient end-to-end thermal protection.
Polyurethane-based Systems (PU)
These solutions offer low thermal conductivity, good bending properties, high mechanical resistance and waterproof characteristics. Combined with an anticorrosion layer, polyurethanes can be solid, foam (PUF), syntactic (SPU), or glass syntactic (GSPU), and are applied by injection moulding or by PU half-shells.
They offer excellent cycle time performance for offshore field joint coating operations and are suitable for reeling, J-lay and S-lay installations. Polyurethanes are also used for in-situ coating of assemblies such as jumpers, sleds, PLETs, FLETs, ITAs, manifolds.
Polypropylene-based Systems (PP)
EUPEC’s multi-layer anticorrosion systems are designed and applied in a wide range of thicknesses and layers to meet insulation and subsea installation requirements. Linepipe coating is applied by side extrusion and is completed by the EUPEC advanced PP Injection Moulding technology for field joints.
​
This world-class, reliable technology provides integral protection and an excellent interface between the parent linepipe coating and the field joint infill, and is suitable for reeling, J-lay and S-lay installation.
Injection Moulding
EUPEC carries out the engineering, design and fabrication of cutomized field joint coating equipment.
