Plastic the new steel?

In the oil and gas industry in the Middle East, they have been working with Reinforced Thermoplastic Pipelines (also known as RTP or FCP) for more than twenty years. In fact, it's pretty much the norm there. But in the Netherlands we are still very focused on the steel version. We know and trust them. How logical is that? And will we continue to do so with the construction of a hydrogen pipeline network or will we finally switch to the 'non-metallic' variant?

Energy efficient infrastructure for CO2-Free energy

Since the EU set the goals under Green Deal in order to become climate-neutral by 2050, all sectors have been motivated to integrate renewable energy solutions. Green hydrogen is seen as one of the solutions to integrate more renewable energy acting as an energy-storing medium. However, before it can be fully utilized as such, there are still some challenges to overcome.

SOLUFORCE HELPS ENERGIZE FIJI WITH SUBMARINE LPG PIPE

Fiji is an island country, an archipelago in the heart of the Pacific Ocean. Due to its location and setup, it is heavily dependent on imported fossil fuel to cover a great part of its energy needs. To increase the accessibility to liquified petroleum gas (LPG) for end customers, Bluegas1, a locally owned family company invested into an LPG terminal at their Baro, Lami, site on Viti Levu. Requiring a safe, fast and easily installed off- and onshore gas pipe connection, Bluegas got granular on several available options and finally chose a long length SoluForce RTP (Reinforced Thermoplastic Pipes) solution.
