Given the long history of SoluForce RTP’s in the oil & gas market, it should come as no surprise that the applications & experience globally is extensive. SoluForce RTP’s were originally jointly developed by Pipelife & Shell in 1998, when Shell required a solution to the multiple problems that conventional Carbon Steel pipelines experienced such as difficult installation, corrosion, scaling & high operating/replacement costs. The solution, Reinforced Thermoplastic Pipeline (RTP) was first installed in 2000 in Oman by SoluForce for Shell.

Since then, SoluForce (a subsidiary of Pipelife) has been providing O&G customers around the world with leading edge technology for transporting hydrocarbons & water from point A to point B in the harshest environments on Earth. More than 4,000 kilometres of SoluForce has now been installed in more than 15 countries on 5 continents.

Compared to steel pipelines, SoluForce RTP’s can add value to your next Oil & Gas project by reducing cost, increasing reliability, eliminating failures caused by corrosion or scale with a quicker and easier installation.

Our typical installations for onshore & offshore oil & gas projects are;

· Oil & Gas flow pipelines

· Gas pipelines

· Gas condensate

· Multiphase pipelines

· Two and Three-phase flowlines

· LPG

· Biodiesel

· Water transport solutions

· Effluent water disposal lines

· High-pressure water injection lines

· Water distribution lines

· Temporary surface lines

At Penta Piping Australia, we believe Hydrogen will become a leading technology for the energy transition to a more sustainable energy future. Renewable energies are becoming more important; consequently, the share of renewable energy is increasing to meet climate targets.

Hydrogen is one of the most versatile energy-bearing substances and will not only play an essential role as a decarbonized energy carrier but will also provide a buffer function, making renewable energy a more viable alternative to conventional fuels.

As part of our vision & core values on sustainability, PPA are so excited to bring to the Australian & Pacific markets the SoluForce piping solution which will help cut costs and make operations safe, durable and efficient. The SoluForce Hydrogen Tight system significantly contributes to the future of the hydrogen value chain, hastening the transition to a fully decarbonized energy grid.

The SoluForce FCP (H2T) has been certified for hydrogen applications of up to 42 bar operating pressure, making it unique in the world of hydrogen transport and a global first. Based on proven technologies, it can be the perfect accelerator to achieve local green hydrogen distribution in a fast, flexible and cost-efficient manner.

With a significantly lower CO2 eq. footprint compared to alternatives, this ready-to-use hydrogen pipeline solution significantly impacts the feasibility of (green) hydrogen and sustainable energy mixes.

Wouldn’t it be great if there was a light-weight, economic, UV-resistant and reliable alternative to steel pipes?  One that can handle the problematic and aggressive nature of industrial solutions from fine tailings, mine water or concentrate, or highly corrosive bore water or saline site water.

We’re happy to report such a product exists with SoluForce RTP pipes. These products have been revolutionary to the Oil & Gas markets and have proven themselves reliable in operation since 2000.

Limited only by size (up to 6”), SoluForce RTPs come in up to 400m coils that are joined on-site by our factory-trained professionals and connected to any existing piping infrastructure via flanges to suit any required client / project specification. The applications are endless, and we cannot wait to help you with your next application.

We are able to support you with solutions for Greenfield & Brownfield applications, and we would be happy to review any projects youy might have.
