Case Studies 
Project:    A new-build mining project in New CaledoniaBackground :
- construction of a network of piping carrying hazardous substances
- a leak-free connection solution needed.

Solution:
SPO CF were specified providing a leak-free solution - flanges manufactured in grade 12 titanium (high level corrosion resistance)
1,500 compact flanges ranging in sizes up to 24 inches, working at pressures up to 2,000 psi and 300°C.




Project:  Norsk Hydro Troll C
Background
:  Long-life, leak-free piping joints required

Solution:
SPO CF in sizes 4” – 16” were selected in preference to welded joints
Reduced installation time achieved and high risk situation avoided
Significant cost savings achieved




Project:  Statoil Heidrun Plateau
Background :   Riser flanges wanted for North Sea Platform

Solution:
NPD accepted SPO CF for application on risers above sea level and before ESD
valve - weldneck flanges and taper stress flanges were installed




Project:    APL A/S Submerged turret
Background
:
- Riser and pipeline flanges required for STL and STP (loading and production)
- project called for high reliability coupled with small physical dimensions and low weight

Solution:  
SPO CF, weldneck and swivel flanges manufactured in high strength carbon steel were supplied, operating at 520 bar
