PRIMUS LINE® OIL

Pipeline rehabilitation made easy

Primus Line® is an innovative technology for the trenchless rehabilitation of pressure pipelines for different media such as oil, water and gas. The process is based on a flexible high-pressure hose and a connecting technology, which has been developed specifically for this system.

The oil industry is facing new challenges as a result of damage to steel pipelines caused by internal corrosion. Possible leakages might cause significant environmental damage; they also mean increased costs or even loss of reputation for network operators.

Primus Line® is suitable for the renovation of oil pipelines due to the medium-specific inner layer and acts as a corrosion barrier between the transported fluid and the host pipe.

Fluids to be transported cover media from categories such as crude oils, fuel oils, oil slag and other refined products (for detailed information please request our Chemical Resistance Sheet).
