    Abstract: A method for producing a stream of propylene and associated facility are described. The method includes: an introduction of a feed cut rich in C4 and/or C5 hydrocarbons, and at least one cut rich in ethylene into a metathesis reactor; an introduction of a metathesis product in a deethylenizer; a production of an overhead stream rich in ethylene and a feed stream; an introduction of the feed stream into a depropylenizer and recovery of a bottom stream containing C4+ hydrocarbons; a recovery, from an overhead stream of the depropylenizer, of the propylene stream; a lateral withdrawal of a recycle stream and return of the recycle stream to the metathesis reactor; a lateral draw-off, in the depropylenizer, of a purge rich in C4 paraffinic hydrocarbons and/or rich in isobutene.

    Abstract: A method of preparing a pipe-section for welding to another pipe-section to form a pipeline comprising a plurality of said pipe-sections, the method comprising at least the steps of: (i) providing a pipe-section having first and second pipe-ends; (ii) defining a first portion L1 of the longitudinal length of the pipe-section from the first pipe-end being in the range 3% to 40% of the overall length of the pipe-section; (iii) defining a second portion L2 of the longitudinal length of the pipe-section from the end of the first portion L1 towards the second pipe-end; (iv) heating at least the first portion L1 to at least a first temperature T1 of at least 500° C. for at least 2 minutes; (v) maintaining a second temperature T2 of the second portion L2 during step (iv) below the first temperature T1. The invention is able to reduce the strain capacity during reel-laying of a pipeline formed from a plurality of pipe sections formed by the invention.
