HVDC Substations

We provide specialized piping solutions tailored to the unique requirements of these critical infrastructures. Fire- and heat-resistant piping solutions ensure that any heat generated within conversion substations on the high seas or on land that converts energy from alternating (AC) to direct current (DC) is safely and effectively managed.

Geothermal Energy

Our piping solutions are tailored to the unique demands of geothermal applications. Our high-temperature and corrosion-resistant materials ensure long-term reliability and reduce maintenance costs. Our systems integrate smart technology for real-time monitoring and automation,  enhancing control and efficiency, customizable to specific project needs.

Applications for Electricity Production

HVAC

We offer high-performance piping systems for distributing heated and chilled water in climatization applications. These systems meet the latest building standards in terms of sustainability. When a shortage of space is an issue, jointing technologies like electrofusion ease the installation process.

Process Cooling

Cooling the media, single components or entire systems is an integral part of many industrial processes. Elements can either be cooled directly or via secondary systems that cool process surroundings.

Deionized Water

Completely controlled processes with the highest purity and quality standards require process water of specified qualities at different levels. We provide high-quality systems for these demanding binding and filter processes, meeting all relevant industry standards.

Storage Tanks

In every manufacturing and processing plant, a tank is required to store liquid media. GF offers fast, reliable, and safe tools for emptying tanks. Our piping systems comprise many products, including measurement, control, actuation technology, and automatic and manual valves for demanding applications.

Water Intake and Outfall

Water intake lines convey raw water from the source, rivers, or sea to the storage area before its treatment. Inhibitors such as biocides are added to prevent biofilm build-up and incrustation. Since long distances are bridged, a corrosion-free solution, often involving large diameters, is needed.

FAQs

What support does GF Piping Systems offer for the design and installation of piping systems in HVDC substations?

We offer comprehensive support, including design consultation, on-site training, installation supervision, and technical assistance throughout the project lifecycle.

How do GF Piping Systems support environmental sustainability in electricity production?

Our goal is for 100% of our innovations to deliver sustainability improvements and at least 70% of the products we sell to deliver social or environmental benefits. Our products are designed for long life cycles with minimal maintenance, reducing waste. Additionally, our manufacturing processes prioritize energy efficiency and minimal environmental impact. 

Can GF Piping Systems be integrated with existing infrastructure?

Yes, our systems are designed for compatibility with existing infrastructure, and we provide tailored solutions to ensure seamless integration. One example is our Industrial Ethernet connectivity options that help to plan flexible networks and commission devices quickly and easily,  including access to all relevant device parameters. GF Piping System offers Industrial Ethernet for both Electric Actuators and Electro-pneumatic Positioners. Optional accessories boards enable digital connectivity protocols such as Modbus TCP, PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET, and EtherNet/IP with a simple plug-and-play solution.
