Energy
From Oil & Gas to Hydrogen and CCUS
Energy is the largest application market for non-metallic composite pipes. Each sub-sector presents unique corrosive media, temperature, and pressure challenges. LEISA covers all 4 energy sub-sectors.
Selecting a non-metallic piping system for this sector begins with the service envelope rather than a product name. Engineers should define the transported fluid, impurities, pressure and temperature cycles, external loads, installation environment, design life, joining method, and consequences of failure. Those conditions determine the resin system, reinforcement architecture, liner, qualification standards, and inspection stages. LEISA converts the resulting requirements into an inspection and test plan covering material identity, dimensions, short- and long-term mechanical performance, chemical compatibility, joint integrity, manufacturing records, and traceable acceptance evidence.
Hydrogen
Hydrogen causes embrittlement in carbon steel. GRE-RTR pipes are fully resistant at 100% H₂ with permeability 10× lower than steel. LEISA provides mechanical, chemical compatibility, and long-term HDB testing for hydrogen pipe materials.
Geothermal
Geothermal fluids contain H₂S, CO₂, and concentrated minerals — extreme corrosion. GRE casing and tubing provide corrosion resistance and anti-scaling. LEISA performs chemical resistance and long-term performance evaluation per NACE TM0298.
CCUS
Supercritical CO₂ transport and rapid decompression-induced cryogenic temperatures demand both permeation resistance and low-temperature toughness. GRE-RTR meets both requirements. LEISA provides CO₂ environment material qualification testing.
Oil & Gas
From downhole tubing/casing to surface flowlines — FRP replaces carbon steel with zero corrosion, 20-year design life, and 60%+ weight reduction. LEISA offers full API 15HR/15LR qualification testing.
