Using Flexible Steel Pipe to Rehabilitate Aging Pipelines

Picture for Using Flexible Steel Pipe to Rehabilitate Aging Pipelines
Available for download

This paper highlights a successful rehabilitation of a regulated steel line with flexible steel pipe. The pipeline resides under jurisdiction and was approved by both state and federal pipeline safety administrations. Upon completion, the rehabilitated system restored transmission while also reducing overall operating risk. Use of the flexible steel pipe allowed the operator to utilize a dual-containment design while also implementing real-time continuous annulus monitoring on multiple interfaces, effectively reducing risk to environment and local residents.

Rapidly aging oil and gas infrastructure is forcing operators to seek creative ways to maintain pipeline integrity with minimal capital investment and interruption to production. Rising material costs, excessive installation times, and numerous permitting challenges limit the feasibility and profitability of full replacement methods. Composite flexible steel-reinforced pipe products offer unique solutions to these challenging scenarios. Long package lengths, high tensile capabilities, and unbonded, flexible designs offer an ideal solution for the rapid rehabilitation of these dilapidated systems. In many applications, steel-reinforced spoolable composites require minimal disturbance to existing infrastructure and, in some cases, can be installed at lengths exceeding one mile. Relying upon its own inherent strength and mechanical properties, flexible steel pipe uses the existing infrastructure as a conduit and does not rely on the integrity of the host pipe for future operation. Equipped with a high-density polyethylene inner layer, composite steel pipes also offer greater flow characteristics than new steel alternatives, minimizing the effects of most diameter reductions.

Most cured epoxy resins provide excellent mechanical strength and toughness as well as outstanding chemical, moisture, and corrosion resistance. They also have good thermal, adhesive, and electrical properties, no volatiles emissions, low shrinkage upon cure and dimensional stability1. This unique combination of properties coupled with outstanding formulating versatility and reasonable costs, have gained epoxy resins wide acceptance as materials of choice for a multitude of protective coatings applications.

The chemical and radioactive waste at the Hanford Site is currently stored in 131 single-shell tanks and 27 double-shell tanks (DSTs). The DSTs were built between 1968 and 1986, and each has a capacity of about 1 million gallons. Figure 1 is one typical design of the DSTs. Double shell means that each tank consists of a primary tank within a secondary tank. The primary and secondary tanks are also known as liners, and both are made from carbon steel.
