Various embodiments of magneto-hydrodynamic connection pumps are discussed. In some cases, the pumps include: a body forming an inner channel, a first connection part on a first side of the tube, a second connection part on a second side of the tube; an anode electrode on an inside wall of the body, a cathode electrode located on the inside wall of the body at a location opposite the anode electrode, and one or more permanent magnets attached to or embedded into an outside wall of the body.

A connection system for reinforced thermoplastic polymer (RTP) pipe includes a first pipe with a first end and a reinforced thermoset resin (RTR) coupler positioned adjacent to the first end of the first pipe. The RTR coupler has an annular body with a first socket extension extending into the first end of the first pipe and a first thermoplastic tie layer provided between the first socket extension and the first end of the first pipe. A first set of wedges is positioned around an outer surface of the first end of the first pipe, and a first flange is fitted around the first set of wedges, wherein the first set of wedges is wedged between the first end and the first flange.

A system and method for automatically jointing of reinforced thermosetting resin (RTR) pipes. For example, an automated installation of RTR joints system may have an inductor and a pig for automated in-field installation of RTR pipes. The inductor may be fitted on an outside of RTR joint. Additionally, the pig may be inserted inside the pipeline and remotely controlled to assist operators during the alignment of the pipes and subsequent joint making/welding. Through the successive inflation and deflation of pneumatic wheels placed along the pig, the pig may autonomously move inside the RTR pipeline (from one RTR joint to the other) during the installation, while also be used to apply internal pressure at specific locations of the pipe, as needed, during installation.

Spoolable composite pipes for oil and gas flowlines may include an inner extruded tubular liner, a reinforcement layer surrounding the inner extruded tubular liner, and an outer extruded tubular cover surrounding the reinforcement layer. In these spoolable composite pipes, the inner extruded tubular liner may include an aliphatic polyketone. Internally lined pipes for oil and gas flowlines for oil and gas flowlines may include inner extruded tubular liner containing an aliphatic polyketone, and a carbon steel pipe surrounding the inner extruded tubular liner. The spoolable composite pipes and the internally lined pipes may be configured to operate at temperatures of up to about 110° C., and to carry hydrocarbons having an aromatic content of up to about 35% by volume of the total hydrocarbons content.

A system and method for coupling pipes includes a first pipe having a tapered, spigot end; and a second pipe having a tapered, socket end adapted to internally receive the tapered, spigot end of the first pipe. The first pipe and the second pipe are made from a reinforced thermosetting resin (RTR) material. A thermal joining process is used to bond a thermoplastic material onto the RTR material of the first pipe, the second pipe, or both pipes. Upon application of thermal heating to the first and second pipes, the heat between the first pipe and the second pipe is sufficient to melt the thermoplastic material such that, when the heat is removed, the hardened thermoplastic material seals the first pipe to the second pipe. A system and a method of coupling the first pipe and the second pipe may include the coupler made of RTR material.
