Baker Hughes and Primus Line collaborate on non-metallic composite pipe applications to rehabilitate and repurpose existing pipelines.
Primus Line has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Baker Hughes, a global energy technology company, to collaborate on non-metallic pipe applications to rehabilitate and repurpose existing pressure pipelines, offering our combined customer base more cost-effective options for pipeline repair and replacement, as well as the repurposing of existing pipeline networks for hydrogen and CO2 transportation.
Under the agreement, Baker Hughes and Primus Line will collaborate on commercial models and joint customer offerings to drive non-metallic pipeline growth in the pipeline integrity management market. By leveraging Baker Hughes' scale and extensive non-metallic pipe portfolio with Primus Line's deep domain expertise and existing customer base in trenchless pipeline rehabilitation, the companies will offer unmatched turnkey solutions for pressure pipeline rehabilitation and repurposing projects in the oil and gas and industrial sectors.
Pipeline rehabilitation is a process in which non-metallic composite pipe is pulled through existing pipeline infrastructure to reduce the need for full excavation, trenching, and permitting. This offering will allow more pipeline projects to move forward by reducing project risks, minimizing community disruptions, and creating opportunities for transport of lower carbon fuels.
“We are proud to welcome Baker Hughes as a partner we will work with to expand our capabilities as a prime solution provider to our customers,” said Werner Rädlinger, CEO and owner at Primus Line. “Regardless of difficult global market and operating conditions, Primus Line® continues to expand our capabilities through this partnership, which creates cooperation between both the engineering and business development efforts of both organizations which ultimately will create a product offering, technical support, and installation network unlike anything else seen in the trenchless rehabilitation market today . Directed to our Agents and Installation Partners part of our great Primus Line family, I like to point out what enormous potential this represents to you."
