Customised cryogenic pipes for offshore applications - plug and play

Risk-free and repeatedly tested for cryogenic media

Individually customisable and effectively vacuum-insulated, our cryogenic pipe systems offer maximum safety when transporting cryogenic media. Tested several times in the factory, our double-walled corrugated stainless-steel pipes fulfil all requirements for problem-free use in the offshore sector.

Thanks to our decades of expertise, our pressure-resistant cryogenic pipes can withstand even high ambient pressure and heavy swell. Thanks to their high-quality construction and special insulation materials, our pipelines are ideally suited to safely transporting the energy sources of the future, such as liquid hydrogen (LH2), liquid ammonia (LNH3) or liquefied natural gas (LNG).

Our double-walled pipe solutions are certified in accordance with the European and international industry standards EN 1447-2, API standard 17J and the Pressure Equipment Directive AD2000.

Swift construction of cryogenic infrastructures 

Cryogenic media are increasingly becoming a focal point for the generation and storage of energy. The use of cryogenic technologies is playing an increasingly important role in the offshore industry.  Swift construction of the necessary infrastructure helps to minimise project costs and enable fast and safe commissioning.

Whether for the production of liquid hydrogen in offshore wind farms or for the infrastructure of LNG production platforms at sea, BRUGG Pipes prefabricated, and factory-tested pipe systems can also be used to install ship-to-ship or ship-to-harbour connections simply and easily.

Customised FPSO pipe solution in the Gulf of Mexico

BRUGG Pipes' latest offshore project involved the use of two double-walled corrugated stainless-steel pipes for a mobile LNG production platform in the Gulf of Mexico. Two flexible pipes, each 220 metres long and weighing a total of 42 tonnes, including the reel, were developed according to customer specifications and certified in accordance with the EN 1474-2 directive for the safe transfer of liquefied natural gas.

The pipes are used reliably as transport pipelines from the LNG production platform to FPSO (Floating Production, Storage and Offloading) ships. The corrugated stainless-steel pipes from BRUGG Pipes are now used to transport the produced liquefied natural gas from the production platform to the ship, from where it can be transported to other offshore locations.

Our vacuum-insulated pipe systems - your benefits

The customised pipe systems for cryogenic media from BRUGG Pipes are manufactured according to customer specifications in the desired length and design. Manufactured in Germany, they fulfil all regulatory requirements and, thanks to the monitorable vacuum chamber, enable early detection of leaks, which increases the operational safety of the cryogenic pipelines.

When transferring cryogenic liquefied gases, the effective vacuum insulation of the pipes massively minimises the heat input and thus ensures loss-free transport of cryogenic liquids or gases, even in demanding offshore environments.

Due to their nature, our cryogenic pipes guarantee maximum flexibility in the delivery, storage and installation of the pipework. Supplied on drums, the pipes adapt to your specific requirements and can of course also be used as floating pipes.

Our double-walled pipe systems can be quickly and easily connected to your system without the use of expansion joints and put into operation without any problems.
