PRIMUS LINE™

A versatile liner system for the transport of liquid and gaseous media.

The flexible liner, reinforced with aramid fabric, and the specifically developed connectors form a high-performance potable-safe solution for the trenchless rehabilitation of pressure pipes or for setting up a robust independently placeable flexible line.

How Primus Line works.

For sustainable and reliable pipeline rehabilitation, Primus Line™ employs innovative trenchless technology to restore pressure pipelines for water, sewer, gas, and oil. Its unique flexible, high-pressure hose system, featuring a smooth inner lining, optimizes flow and pressure while protecting existing pipes from further abrasion and corrosion. This method ensures secure, loss-free conveyance of sensitive media like drinking water, safeguarding this essential resource for water authorities and future generations.

1

Create Access

Only 2 small access pits or existing shaft structures are needed per rehabilitation section.
2

Camera Inspection & Clean

Inspection of pipes using a robotic camera. Clean and prepare the pipe surface.
3

Liner Insertion

Liner is fitted with a pulling head designed for forces up to 100 kN. A twist catcher in the pulling connection to the cable winch prevents the liner from twisting on its way from the start pit to the destination pit.
4

Inflation

Adhesive tapes hold the liner in a U-shape allowing insertion in same-diameter pipes until it is pressurized with air expanding it to its round shape.
5

Mount Connectors

The Primus Line connectors consist of a bushing and a core. Pressing the core into the press ring creates a tension-resistant unit of liner and connector: the flexible pipe. A solution with flange or welded end creates a force-fit connection with the host pipe.
6

Pressure Test & Disinfect

The pressure test in accordance with relevant rules and regulations for liquid and gaseous media ensures the stability and especially leak-tightness of the section rehabilitated with Primus Line®. Specifically for water applications, the liner is additionally disinfected.

Features.

Trenchless

Significantly reduce pipe downtime and avoid disruption to environment, landscape and infrastructure.

100% Warranty

Tried and proven for durability and reliability, Advantage guarantees Primus Line installations.

Safe for Potable Water

Our Primus Line rehabilitation process is NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 certified safe for transport of potable (drinking) water.

Strong = Safe

Core made of seamlessly woven Kevlar® fabric. This synthetic fibre is up to ten times stronger than steel.

Excellent Under Pressure

The burst pressure of the flexible pipe is at least 2.5 times the allowable working pressure. Burst pressure rates up to 2988 PSI. Operating pressure up to 1189 PSI.

Over 1.5 Mile Continuous Pull

Capable of up to 8200 feet per pull.

Reliable Investment

Service life of more than 50 years translates to sound fiscal responsibility.

Flexible

Installation capable through multiple bends up to 90 degrees.

Earthquake Proof?

There's a good chance. Withstands thermal expansion of the host pipe and ground movement.

Non-Destructive to Host Pipe

No curing, steaming, adhesion or thermal treatment of the liner after installation allowing for removal & replacement if ever needed.

Applications.

Common uses of  Primus Line include water (pressure & potable), sanitary, sewer and gas & oil pipe repair and rehabilitation. Let our experts help you determine the right solution for your situation.

Testimonials.

”Advantage Reline has been great working with us on these unique situations. We selected Primus because this system allows us to have minimal impact to our customers…this is the quicker, simpler and cleaner way to get this line re-established.

MarkM.N.W.D.

”The reason we chose Advantage Reline and Primus Liner is because of Highway 1 and the wetland behind it. It was quick, it was cheap and no one else could give us the pressure rating.

Darren

”This line operates at a relatively high pressure at about 140psi. Primus was able to meet those requirements whereas other rehab options weren’t able to meet the requirement.
