SoluForce® rTP (reinforced Plastic Pipe) has been manufactured and used extensively since the year 2000. It is estimated that over a thousand kilometers worldwide is currently in operation.
The concept of a completely non corrosive pipe system for high pressure hydrocarbon applications came about through the demand from oil companies who proactively participated in the development and qualification of rTP. In 1998 a JIP (Joint Industrial Project) which brought together manufacturers, users (such as Saudi Aramco, Petrobras, Shell, BP) and testing institutes was created. out of the JIP was developed an API standard (API rP 15S) for rTP in 2006.
SoluForce® rTP is a complete non metallic piping system. It is qualified for Water, Hydrocarbons and Gas applications.
Manufactured by PIPelIFe in enkhuizen, The Netherlands, SoluForce® rTP is supplied on disposable wooden reels which may be easily transported by either road or ship.
SoluForce® rTP comes with a complete fitting system for its pipes. It provides welding equipment and certified welders for installation wherever the customer requires.
SoluForce® is a business unit within the PIPelIFe International group of companies and benefits from belonging to one of the world’s largest plastic pipe manufacturers.

SOLUFORCE®
dESIgN aNd RELIaBILITy
The reliability of SoluForce® is guaranteed by extensive laboratory testing and long term field experience.
To assess the long-term strength, SoluForce® is pressure tested for a period of 10,000 hours (more than one year), according to internationally accepted standards. one of the most important test criteria is that the fitting system should be stronger than the pipe itself.
Next to corrosion, third party interference is the major cause of pipeline failure. SoluForce® light and classic, being completely non-metallic, including the fitting system, offer the ultimate in absolute corrosion resistance. The resistance to third party interference, earth quakes and landslides has been verified in the laboratory by falling weight impact testing, axial load and bending testing under supervision of major oil companies. In-field impact testing with digging machines has shown equal or better performance than steel pipe.
SoluForce® is field-proven since 2000, when the first flowlines were installed in the Middle east desert. These pipes have been in service since without any interruption. Meanwhile SoluForce® has been installed worldwide onshore and offshore at major oil and gas companies. No failure in service has been reported.

SOLUFORCE® OFFSHORE
When installed empty, the maximum external pressure on SoluForce®, depending on diameter, is about 0.3 MPa, which limits the water depth to approximately 30 meters. However, when the SoluForce® rTP system is kept pressurized or water filled during installation and operation there is no theoretical limit to the water depth.
For oil and water pipes, the maximum water depth is therefore much more than 30 meters, and limited in practice by the maximum allowable tensile load during installation. For gas pipe, the maximum water depth is determined by the hydrostatic collapse resistance.
For more information contact us directly at info@soluforce.com or visit our website www.soluforce.com to download our brochure and submit your questions. Project references can be supplied upon demand. A design guideline for offshore installation can be obtained from Soluforce.
Conforms to API RP 15S or API 17J for spoolable composite pipe systems.SOLUFORCE® RTP is DNV certified.

The advantage of SoluForce® classic over (stainless) steel pipe and other flexible pipe systems is its complete corrosion resistance even in heavily sour service. SoluForce® Heavy can be used for sour service up to 0.3 Bars (4.5 psi) partial H2S pressure. SoluForce® has a completely smooth bore, as opposed to most other offshore flexible pipe solutions. This ensures a much lower flow resistance and improved flow capacity.
Designed originally for onshore operations SoluForce® has limited external pressure resistance. However installed water filled and operated water or oil filled SoluForce® may be used even in deep water. As a temporary test line, SoluForce® has been used at 900 meters (3000 ft) water depth.
empty, or oil- or gas filled, the differential external pressure should be no more than 0.3 MPa (equivalent to 30 meters / 100 ft water depth). If the water depth is more than 30 meters (100 ft), used for gas service, or oil service with high Gor (Gas to oil ratio), a subsea SoluForce® pipeline must be protected by some means to ensure that a positive differential pressure is maintained at all times. This could be, for instance, a safety shut off system. In such case, as long as the pipe is installed water filled, there is no theoretical limit to the water depth.
Being lightweight, SoluForce® must be fitted with external weight to ensure sufficient on- bottom stability. This may either be strap-on concrete blocks at regular intervals or a piggybacked heavy steel wire cable. Sometimes, concrete weight mattresses are used. In deeper water, a parallel steel wire cable is required to ensure sufficient axial strength during installation.
SoluForce® Heavy PA, with a PA12 liner has been specifically designed for subsea gas pipelines, and is approved by Bureau Veritas for such service according to API 17J.
As installation and operating conditions of flexible offshore pipelines vary widely, the over-all suitability, installation method, and economy of SoluForce® must be evaluated in detail for each individual project. Soluforce is happy to advise the offshore engineering office of your choice on this subject.
