A BRUGG GROUP COMPANY
Flexible
Our pipe systems use high-quality and flexible corrugated stainless-steel piping.
Vacuum insulated
The flexible piping for cryogenic liquefied gases is vacuum-insulated and comes with high-quality “superinsulation” (vacuum + insulating material).
Ready-to-Use
All superinsulated piping is pre-assembled in our factories. This means that it is cut to the respective length, the connections are welded and checked, and the vacuum is generated. “Ready-to-use”!
The cryogenic application of cryogenic piping requires outstanding equipment. It necessitates the appropriate material to produce a pipe system that must maximise efficiency in transporting a fluid over long ranges. In every possible state. All over the world.
BRUGG Pipes stands for comprehensive expertise in cryogenic technology and custom-built cryogenic pipe solutions for offshore applications, maritime applications and cryogenic applications on land. Our vacuum-insulated, corrugated stainless-steel piping has been specially developed for the needs of offshore businesses, shipyards, terminal operators, energy companies and industrial enterprises, amongst others.
Our cryogenic pipe systems provide maximum safety in the transportation of cryogenic media. The double-walled, corrugated stainless-steel cryogenic pipes meet all requirements for offshore applications. They can withstand ambient pressure as well as strong waves. The high-quality pipes are ideal for the transportation of energy sources such as liquid hydrogen, liquid ammonia and liquified natural gas. They are certified according to international standards.
These days, cryogenics is more or less an integral part of the offshore industries. Thanks to its custom-made, pre-assembled piping systems, BRUGG Pipes is the go-to company for the quick and safe construction of infrastructure for liquid nitrogen, hydrogen, and other gases – while also ensuring optimised project costs. This is evidenced in impressive fashion by a custom-built cryogenic transportation pipeline in the Gulf of Mexico. The two double-walled, corrugated stainless-steel pipes for an LNG production platform are each 220 metres in length and weigh a total of around 42 tonnes. They are certified in accordance with EN 1474-2, API Standard 17J and Pressure Equipment Directive AD2000. This solution fulfils the most stringent of requirements, be it from the customer’s side or the regulatory side.
These cryogenic pipes for offshore applications boast early leak detection via vacuum monitoring. Thanks to the efficient vacuum insulation, heat input is reduced while also enabling loss-free transport in a demanding environment. Thus, the piping is extremely flexible with regard to delivery, storage and assembly, while also allowing for quick and easy connection to existing systems.
… safe and uncompromising: Safety makes no compromises. And neither do we. Our high-quality piping guarantees reliable and uninterrupted operation.
… durable and future-proof: We specialise in the most effective insulation techniques and the perfect pipe design. And that pays off through long-term use and maximum operating safety.
… custom-built and innovative: At sea, every situation is unique. This is where our solutions come into their own. Because they are developed and manufactured for complex technical demands in maritime applications.
… sustainable and environmentally-friendly: Our pipe solutions play a significant role in helping to minimise the risk of accidents and environmental damage in sensitive maritime areas.
… tested and approved: By which we mean according to all regulatory guidelines that apply to the transportation of liquid gases in offshore applications.
Engine rooms, cargo holds and decks vary from ship to ship – our cryogenic pipes for ship applications perform everywhere. Optimised for use on ships, they are also available at short notice as a standard product. Thanks to their high-quality design and their outstanding cryogenic pipe material, they offer reliable solutions for the transportation of fuels, coolants and other media in maritime applications.
The cryogenic pipes for maritime applications are available in endless lengths and reduce the number of connections required. In addition to this, pre-assembly in the factory simplifies the entire installation process. This not only makes the actual installation process easier, but all subsequent maintenance as well.
Our corrugated stainless steel pipes feature the most advanced insulation layers with specially adapted superinsulation made from reflective foil and stabilising spacers in the vacuum space. The individually adjustable band reinforcement ensures outstanding pressure stability and low longitudinal elongation at pressures of up to 30 bar. This makes it an exceptionally safe cryogenic transportation pipeline for cryogenic liquids and gases in ships.
A cryogenic transportation pipeline is not only necessary at sea and on ships. On land, too, there are numerous pipelines for cryogenic applications, as well as areas of application for cryogenic piping. This means that our pipe systems are an excellent choice for …
… industrial applications: For freezing food, for biological tests or for nitrogen supply in the semiconductor industry.
… LNG filling stations: For the safe transportation of regular and bio liquefied natural gas.
… superconductors: In cryostat applications for loss-free energy transmission.
… in the energy industry: For the safe transportation of hydrogen and other alternative energy sources.
Safe, flexible, efficient, reliable and adaptable: Our self-compensating cryogenic pipe system is 100% made in Germany. It is pressure-tested and features optional monitoring in the vacuum space. Above all, it is quick to install and ready to use as soon as it leaves the factory. The cryogenic pipe boasts low heat input thanks to its vacuum insulation. It has been subjected to helium leak tests to ensure that it meets 100% of technical requirements, wherever it is used. It is suitable for above-ground and underground installation and can be customised to suit its respective field of application.
Pipe systems for cryogenic applications are among the most demanding applications when it comes to the safe and reliable transportation of cryogenic media. A pipe for cryogenic applications must be made from select materials and have specific properties in order to be able to withstand extreme temperatures. All components must be coordinated in development so that the system can deliver its best possible performance. And this level of performance is ensured by cryogenic pipe systems from BRUGG Pipes. This is exactly why they were developed. This is exactly why they are made. And it is in this area of application that they are proving themselves across the world offshore, onshore or maritim.
