    Abstract: A system for field internally coating a pipe joint comprising a polymer application unit, which has a first cart configured to selectively advance inside a pipe; a first and a second tank configured to contain a first and a second polymer component respectively; a mixer to mix the first and the second component; a first and a second pump to feed the first and the second component respectively from the first and the second tank to the mixer; an applicator to apply the polymer to the pipe; and a conduit comprising a free end configured to be placed near the applicator to feed the polymer from the mixer to the applicator.

    Abstract: A process for regasifying a fluid and producing electrical energy includes subjecting a working fluid to 1) high-pressure pumping, 2) heating in a recovery unit to obtain a heated flow, the heating step comprising a low-temperature heat recovery step 2a) and a high-temperature heat recovery step 2b), 3) further heating to obtain a further heated flow, 4) expanding in a turbine, with production of electrical energy, to obtain an expanded flow, 5) cooling in a recovery unit by heat exchange, in a step 5a) with the flow of step 2b) and in a step 5b) with the flow of step 2a) to obtain a cooled flow, 6) expanding with production of mechanical energy, and 7) condensing the flow of working fluid. After step 5), a portion of the flow of working fluid is not subjected to step 6) and is subjected to a recompressing step.

    Abstract: A method for compensating the bathymetric pressure inside a subsea tank containing a liquid working fluid by using a bathymetric compensation fluid is provided. The liquid working fluid and the bathymetric compensation fluid are separated from each other by a separation layer of a separation fluid.

    Abstract: A method for laying a pipeline on the bed of a body of water comprises assembling a pipeline on a laying vessel; launching the pipeline from the laying vessel; identifying a zone of the bed of the body of water that causes stresses greater than a threshold value determined for the pipeline; progressively laying the pipeline on the bed of the body of water by advancing the laying vessel; and making, through controlled plastic deformation, at least one curved section along the pipeline with a curvature concordant with the curvature assumed by the pipeline in proximity to said zone, when the pipeline is at least partly laid on the bed of the body of water and partly suspended with respect to the bed of the body of water in proximity to said zone.

    Abstract: A flame coating machine for coating field joints of a pipeline has a flame spray system having two flame spray units configured for heating and/or coating with a thermoplastic polymer an annular junction portion and two annular end portions of an existing coating delimiting the annular junction portion; a control system having two temperature sensors configured for acquiring temperature values along the surface collectively defined by the annular junction portion and the annular end portions, and a control unit configured for actuating the flame spray unit in a polymer flame spraying mode or in a flame heating mode as a function of the detected temperature values and at least one threshold value.
