Hydroformed MLP for Geothermal

Protect geothermal pipework from aggressive brines, steam and condensate without defaulting to solid alloy throughout. Hydroformed mechanically lined pipe combines a carbon-steel host with a corrosion-resistant alloy liner for a high-integrity solution designed for the complete operating envelope.

Engineered efficiency

Corrosion resistance where it matters

Geothermal pipework can face high temperatures, chlorides, dissolved CO₂ and H₂S, low pH, oxygen ingress, solids and repeated thermal cycling.

Proclad MLP places the selected corrosion-resistant alloy at the wetted surface, while a carbon-steel host provides structural strength.

01 · OUTER STRUCTURE

Carbon-steel host

Selected to meet the project design basis, fabrication route and mechanical loads.

02 · WETTED SURFACE

CRA liner

Matched to the actual fluid chemistry, temperature and corrosion mechanisms.

03 · ENGINEERED INTERFACE

Continuous contact

Controlled hydraulic expansion creates a close, stable fit along the pipe length.

Geothermal Pump Station with MLP Pipe
Geothermal duty

The hardest duty may not be the steady state.

Materials must be selected for the complete operating envelope: start-up, steady state, shut-down, cleaning, oxygen ingress and upset conditions.

Temperature

High-enthalpy fluid, steam and thermal cycling

Chemistry

Chlorides, CO₂, H₂S, acidity and dissolved oxygen

Flow

Two-phase behaviour, velocity, erosion and solids

Lifecycle

Corrosion allowance, inspection and intervention strategy

Across the surface system

From well pad to reinjection

One corrosion-resistant platform, engineered around each duty point.

01 · Production & gathering lines

Corrosion-resistant transport from the well pad to separation and processing facilities.

02 · Two-phase and brine service

A CRA wetted surface for high-temperature fluids containing chlorides, CO₂, H₂S and other corrosive species.

03 · Steam, condensate & process piping

Engineered protection for selected above-ground plant and balance-of-plant pipework.

04 · Reinjection systems

Long-life corrosion resistance for cooled brine and reinjection networks, subject to chemistry and design review.

Materials flexibility

Select the liner for the fluid

Proclad can support a broad range of CRA liner grades. The right choice depends on the complete chemistry and operating envelope, including oxygen ingress and upset conditions.

01
Nickel-base alloys
Options including Alloy 625 and Alloy 825 for demanding combinations of temperature, chlorides and acidic gases.
02
Austenitic stainless steels
Grades such as 904L and 6Mo for appropriate brine and process conditions.
03
Duplex & super duplex
High-strength, corrosion-resistant options where chemistry, temperature and fabrication requirements align.
Qualification

Prove the solution against your geothermal duty

Qualification is focused on the conditions that matter: geometry, liner alloy, pressure, temperature, chemistry, joining and acceptance criteria. Proclad can review the duty before finalising the solution.
