    摘要: A method for producing a stream of propylene and associated facility are described. The method includes: an introduction of a feed cut rich in C4 and/or C5 hydrocarbons, and at least one cut rich in ethylene into a metathesis reactor; an introduction of a metathesis product in a deethylenizer; a production of an overhead stream rich in ethylene and a feed stream; an introduction of the feed stream into a depropylenizer and recovery of a bottom stream containing C4+ hydrocarbons; a recovery, from an overhead stream of the depropylenizer, of the propylene stream; a lateral withdrawal of a recycle stream and return of the recycle stream to the metathesis reactor; a lateral draw-off, in the depropylenizer, of a purge rich in C4 paraffinic hydrocarbons and/or rich in isobutene.

    摘要: A method of preparing a pipe-section for welding to another pipe-section to form a pipeline comprising a plurality of said pipe-sections, the method comprising at least the steps of: (i) providing a pipe-section having first and second pipe-ends; (ii) defining a first portion L1 of the longitudinal length of the pipe-section from the first pipe-end being in the range 3% to 40% of the overall length of the pipe-section; (iii) defining a second portion L2 of the longitudinal length of the pipe-section from the end of the first portion L1 towards the second pipe-end; (iv) heating at least the first portion L1 to at least a first temperature T1 of at least 500° C. for at least 2 minutes; (v) maintaining a second temperature T2 of the second portion L2 during step (iv) below the first temperature T1. The invention is able to reduce the strain capacity during reel-laying of a pipeline formed from a plurality of pipe sections formed by the invention.

    摘要: A submarine connection for interconnecting a riser pipe and a flexible pipe (26). The riser pipe has an upper end and the flexible pipe (26) has a lower end (30). A connection assembly includes a rigid fitting having a first limb (64) to be connected to the lower end (30) and a second limb (66) with a connector (67) on the end, and a body (36) having a head (42) and an opposing base (46) provided with an end piece (52) to be mounted on the upper end. The connection assembly also includes first guiding elements (60, 86) secured to the body (36), extending in a position at a distance from the axis of the end piece (52), and second guiding elements (76, 81) secured to the first limb (64), suitable for cooperating with the first guiding elements (60, 86).
