Abstract: A method for assembling pipe-in-pipe pipeline elements for transporting fluids, with each pipeline element comprising an inner pipe including a bulge at one end, and an outer pipe including a recess at one end. The method comprises the successive steps: inserting a first locking wedge axially abutting the bulge of its inner pipe and a corresponding end of its outer pipe, butt-assembling the inner pipe of a new pipeline element on the inner pipe of the pipeline, positioning the outer pipe of the new pipeline element alongside the outer pipe of the pipeline, and butt-assembling the outer pipe of the new pipeline element on the outer pipe of the pipeline by inserting a second locking wedge axially abutting against the bulge of the inner pipe of the pipeline at its free end and the recess of the outer pipe at a corresponding end thereof.

Abstract: A method for assembling two tubes (1, 2) made from thermoplastic materials, that involves welding by heating two applied rotational contact surfaces of two parts of two tubes (1, 2), respectively, arranged end to end or overlapping coaxially (XX′). The method involves induction heating of at least one conductive welding element (4), arranged at the interface (3) between the two contact surfaces, by generating a magnetic field at said conductive welding element or elements, such that the melting of the thermoplastic materials constituting said contact surfaces produces a continuous and sealed weld at said interface on at least one closed loop along the entire perimeter of said interface.

Abstract: A method of connecting together two unit elements (2, 4) of an undersea fluid transport pipe that is subjected to fatigue, by welding together two metallic or bi-metallic unit pipe elements that have been put into abutment via their respective free ends (2a, 4a), the welding being done by making three distinct weld beads (6, 8, 10), with a last weld bead (8) being deposited between two lateral first weld beads (6, 10), and being followed directly by controlled sanding of the weld beads in order to apply compression stresses on them.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for cleaning a filtration system under operation. The filtration system comprising a hydraulic circuit Cp recycling the permeate stream to the feed side of the membrane and/or a hydraulic circuit Cr recycling the retentate stream to the feed side of said membrane. The method comprises injecting an amount of a chemical product into the filtration system in the hydraulic circuit Cp or in the hydraulic circuit Cr or upstream of the cross-flow filtration membrane, setting the proportion of recycled permeate stream or recycled retentate stream collected in the hydraulic circuit Cp and/or Cr to enable the recycling of a significant amount of unreacted chemical product having passed through said cross-flow filtration membrane to the feed side of said cross-flow filtration membrane, as well as a filtration system for carrying out said method.

Abstract: A maintenance device for maintaining an offshore wind turbine, the device being suitable for pressing against and traveling along the pylon of the wind turbine. The device includes a maintenance platform including a preferably U-shaped notch so that the pylon of the wind turbine can penetrate into said notch and travel means for causing the maintenance platform to travel along the pylon of the wind turbine. The travel means comprising a plurality of motor-driven crawlers arranged under said maintenance platform so that when the pylon of the wind turbine is placed in said notch with the vertical longitudinal axis of the pylon of the wind turbine perpendicular to the work plane of said maintenance platform.

Abstract: Method of stopping and restarting production in an undersea bottom-to-surface connection production pipe having a first pipe portion on the sea bottom from a well head to the bottom end of a second pipe portion extending to a ship or floating. When production is stopped, at least the first pipe portion is filled with a depressurized production fluid. Thereafter the following steps are performed: e1) forming a gel from two reagents in a first gel-forming chamber on the sea bottom; e2) sending a quantity of separator gel into the first pipe portion that pushes the cold fluid contained in the first pipe portion to the second pipe portion, prior to closing the first chamber; and then; e3) starting production, the gel forming physical separation and thermal and chemical isolation between firstly the production fluid and secondly a production fluid within the first production pipe portion.

Abstract: Method of stopping production and making safe an undersea bottom-to-surface connection production pipe having a first pipe portion on the sea bottom from a well head to the bottom end of a second pipe portion extending to a ship or floating support. After stopping production, depressurization of the entire undersea bottom-to-surface connection production pipe is performed. Thereafter, the following steps are preformed: isolating the first production pipe portion from the second pipe portion, and leaving the production fluid in the first production pipe portion, but not in said second pipe portion, depressurizing the first production pipe portion filled with production fluid by reducing the pressure in the first pipe portion and by discharging more completely the gas contained in the production fluid that it contains.
