Introduction

 
Coflexlite  is   a   revolutionary  pipeline technology designed and specified to provide cost  effective, maintenance and trouble free operation for a variety of onshore pipeline applications. The   Coflexlite range of products is especially intended for those end users conscious of reducing pipeline life-cycle costs and concerned about safe environmentally sound operation.

Coflexlite is manufactured under license from Technip at dedicated   facilities    in Abu  Dhabi , UAE. Technip is a global leader in Engineering, Technologies and construction services for   oil   and  gas.    The location of the facilities was selected in close   proximity   to   several  end  users  and  with  a       partner (Cosmoplast) capable of producing the highest quality pipeline products   in   the  region. All products are manufactured to stock meaning that, combined with the plant location,  pipes  can   be delivered with extremely short delivery times. An RTP finished coil

QA/QC


All manufacturing and quality systems comply with ISO  9001   and   product designs are qualified   in   accordance with   ASTM   D2992. In   addition   all Coflexlite pipe coils   are  hydro-tested to 1.5 times operating   pressure  prior to delivery. This provides the end user with 100% certainty that the product is fit for purpose when it arrives on   site. Moreover,     Coflexlite       is      then re-hydrotested   to   1.25    times   the operating pressure once   installed   to check the pipeline system integrity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 








END FITTINGS


The standard  end   fittings   used   to terminate   Coflexlite  are produced in high grade stainless steel (316L0 and utilize either ANSI or RTJ  class  300, 600, 900 or 1500 raised  face  flanges depending     upon     the   operational pressure   of    the   pipeline   system. Other material grades or terminations are possible and may be specified. All end fitting designs have been qualified and pressure tested at 85 0C to ensure their absolute integrity in extreme conditions. The end fittings are   extremely simple to apply. Compact, uncomplicated and light-weight equipment is used to install the fittings in  the   field at a rate of less than 30 minutes per fitting.

 

CORROSION & EROSION RESISTANCE


Coflexlite utilizes a wholly non-metallic,   construction   making   it   entirely   resistant to virtually  all corrosive agents typically found in an oil or gas production environment. Specifically   these    include water, H 2S, CO 2, aromatics, acids and bases and will not in any way affect the mechanical integrity of the product over its design life.
In addition, the products   polymeric   construction  lends   itself   to   provide  the additional benefit of resistance to erosion. The damage   tolerance   of   the   liner material   means   that   particulate  and multiphase flow will not compromise the structure in any way. These properties serve the  end  user to dramatically   reduce   operational  expenditure   and  costs   associated   with pipeline inspection and maintenance and therefore provide huge cost saving benefits over the design life of the pipeline.

 

FLEXIBILITY


The product is light-weight and flexible, and   is  supplied on road transportable coils in lengths of up to 600m. This inherent property means that all  logistics associated with installation are greatly simplified and as result, pipes can   be   rapidly   installed   with  minimum expense. Potentially, this can provide massive capital expenditure cost savings for users of the product.In additions it is even possible to lay Coflexlite directly onto  the   ground without the need for supports, expansion loops, 45 0 or 90 0 bends or burial.
