Batch Interface and Flow Rate Variations of Products Pipeline
Publication: ICPTT 2009: Advances and Experiences with Pipelines and Trenchless Technology for Water, Sewer, Gas, and Oil Applications
Abstract
With the interface of different batches moving in products pipeline, the flow rate changes very complicated. The study shows that the flow rate varies not only with the batch sequence and the distance of interface moved through in pipeline, but also with the elevation at which interface flows in the pipeline which runs through mountain areas. It is proved in Lan-Cheng-Yu products pipeline that the flow rate may be increased, decreased or unchanged when the interface moving in slope up section of the pipeline. Whether and how the flow rate changes mainly depends upon the average elevation gradient of slope up or down section and local elevation gradient at which the interface is moving. It is very helpful for operators to know and operate the pipeline well.
