Vapour Transport
Our Ultra-high Temperature PiP and VIT are specifically designed to withstand these extreme conditions, providing safe and efficient transport of super-heated vapour, even across long distances.
About our solution
The transportation of super-heated vapour is used in oil and gas extraction, where high temperatures are required for efficient production. As a key component of steam injection systems, vapour quality must be carefully managed to ensure optimal performance and system integrity. Super heated steam can also be used as a working fluid for thermal energy transport where vapour integrity is essential.
- Thermal management: High performance insulation is required to ensure vapour quality and avoid liquid dropout.
- Mechanical Integrity: High temperature pipeline systems require robust mechanical design to deal with thermal constraints.
Applications in Vapour transport
Our Ultra-high Temperature pipelines can be customely design to meet thermal and mechanical design constraints of vapour transport.
- Oil & gas industry: Super-heated vapour is essential in the oil and gas industry, particularly for improving production and recovery processes. In SAGD (Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage), it is injected into wells to mobilize heavy oil, significantly enhancing recovery rates in oil sands operations. Additionally, super-heated vapour is used to stimulate reservoirs, boosting production in mature wells by reducing hydrocarbon viscosity. It also plays a crucial role in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), helping extract additional hydrocarbons from reservoirs that have reached the end of their primary production phase.
- Industrial Heating and Power Generation: Efficient transport of steam to turbines for power generation in thermal plants.
- Renewable Energy Systems : Ultra-high temperature pipelines transport vapour generated from solar concentrators for power generation and industrial applications, integrating renewable energy into traditional systems.
- Nuclear Reactors: High temperature working fluids are considered as a coolant and heat transfer medium in next-generation nuclear fusion reactors, helping transport heat from the reactor core to turbines or heat exchangers for electricity generation.
