"One team, two world class hose factories in France and Brazil serving the global Oil and Gas transfer and offloading business. In Sao Paulo, Brazil we have organized and massively invested in our newly acquired site to enable us to deliver the most advanced and robust OCIMF 91, GMPHOM and API 17K hoses solutions from Trelleborg."
Offshore bonded hoses for crude oil and petroleum transportation
Trelleborg Oil & Marine hoses develops and manufactures bonded hose solutions for the offshore transport of crude oil and petroleum products for terminals worldwide. Trelleborg Oil & Marine hoses are qualified according to OCIMF for internal pressure of 15 to 21 bars with internal diameter from 150mm (6in) to 900mm (36in). The acquisition of a Brazilian company in 2011 enlarged and completed our range of products and technologies.
Trelleborg Oil & Marine products:
- KLELINE hoses: single, dual and double carcass structures available either with integrated flanges or nipple design
- REELINE hoses: dual and double carcass structures
- TRELLINE hoses according to API Spec 17K
- FLEXIBLE WATER INTAKE hoses
- TRELLINE LPG hoses
- TRELLINE LNG hoses (under development phase)
Calm buoys and terminals
Since its inception in 1975, Trelleborg has developed a full KLELINE portfolio of OCIMF single and double-carcass solutions. We have fulfilled the requirements related to tanker and FPSO offshore offloading: tandem, reeling, chute, catenary, floating flare for shallow and deep water projects. For long service life and challenging applications, we have developed in 2008 TRELLINE API 17K for floating and submarine hoses.
Deepwater oil offloading lines
Since 2000 we, jointly with SBM offshore, have developed the TRELLINE - oil offloading lines (OOL) transfer system. This system, for long service operation of 10 to 25 years and in diameters up to 36in, pioneers the use of bonded hoses to provide the cargo transfer link between a deep water moored FPSO and its adjacent deep water export terminal.
For most deepwater applications the flexible TRELLINE system renders the use of rigid steel pipelines or flexible unbonded long length systems obsolete. It is also a most economic and easily installed system requiring minimal equipment. As of today we have built over 1000 TRELLINE hoses and executed several API 17K certified projects in both shallow and deep water all over the world.
Reeling applications
In 2003 we have launched REELINE, the first large diameter hose designed specifically to be reeled and built without nipples and with integrated flanges combined with integrated bend stiffeners. It is available with either OCIMF or API 17K certification. Our REELINE systems have an impressive long service life track record.
FPSO suction hoses
In 2006 we qualified and delivered the flexible water intake hose: the first large bore water suction hose with integrated hypochlorine lines to cool down the FPSOs with the ability to pump cool water over 100m depth along with long service life. API 17K certification is also available.
A key component for offshore LNG offloading solutions
In 2009 we launched the TRELLINE - LNG development project to meet our customer demands and allow them to exploit offshore (remote) gas fields through FLNG. TRELLINE - LNG is being developed to cover the full spectrum of offloading configuration including aerial, side by side, tandem, floating and submarine.
Combining its unrivalled expertise in both composite and rubber-bonded hoses, Trelleborg has developed dedicated offshore LNG transfer systems.
TRELLINE LNG is a key component for innovative offshore LNG offloading solutions, based on API 17K and EN 1474-2 standard. Features include:
- Hose-in-hose concept
- High flexibility
- Integrated bending stiffener on all flanges
- Fully encased flanges eliminate corrosion
- Long service life
It will be ready for LNG and cryogenic service in extreme operating conditions and severe fatigue generated by sea motion - as TRELLINE is known and recognised for in the offshore industry we proudly serve.
Submarine and floating hoses for LPG transfer
Trellborg offers submarine and floating hoses for the most stringent applications, based on API 17K and OCIMF. TRELLINE LPG hoses are specially designed for LPG transfer in flowline, shallow water, CALM and reel applications.
In 2008 we developed and successfully commissioned TRELLINE LPG (butane and propane) as our customers reported that OCIMF LPG hoses were not able to last more than six months in the harsh sea environment combined with a severe fatigue for the LPG FPSO and terminals.
Trelleborg has a strong track record of continuous service in demanding environments for LPG transfer.
