Scheduling, pipelining a non-pipelined design by partitioning the control step schedule into phases while adding the minimum amount of new hardware, and a code sequence example. 

A CIP system includes pipelines, interconnected with valves to direct fluid to appropriate locations, and the control circuit, which consists of interlines to control the valves that direct the cleaning solutions and water through the lines, and air lines which control and move the valves. A programmer controls the timing and the air flow to the valves on a set schedule. The 3A Standards for CIP components, equipment, and installation have been developed. A simple CIP system circuit is shown in Figure 11. 

Ak ammonia piping should be standard (Schedule 40) or extra heavy (Schedule 80) steel having welded or screwed joints, respectively. Galvanized piping or brazed joints should never be used. Ammonia accepted for pipeline transportation must meet the fokowing specifications NH, 99.5 vol % min dissolved inerts, 0.16% max, ok, 5 ppm max and water, in the form of steam condensate, 0.2% min, or distiked water, 0.5% max. 

Preventive maintenance on vital equipment, such as tractor units, tanks, pumps, hoses, hard arms, pipelines, and mooring facilities, should be properly scheduled, carried out and documented. This program should be separate from the regulatory inspection. Verify from records. 

A pipeline constructed of carbon steel failed after 3 years operation. On examination it was found that the wall thickness had been reduced by corrosion to about half the original value. The pipeline was constructed of nominal 100 mm (4 in) schedule 40, pipe, inside diameter 102.3 mm (4.026 in), outside diameter 114.3 mm (4.5 in). Estimate the rate of corrosion in ipy and mm per year. 

Prepare an equipment schedule detailing all major items of equipment, including tanks and pumps. A specimen pipeline sizing calculation for the reactor inlet pipe should be given. All materials of construction should be specified. 

The yield stress for carbon steel is 35,000 psi, and the working stress is one-half of this value. What schedule number would you recommend for a pipe carrying ethylene at a pressure of 2500 psi if the pipeline design calls for a pipe... 

Determine the pressure required for a pipe to swell and the pressure required for a pipe failure. The pipe is 3-in stainless 316 schedule 40 pipeline for transporting a gas mixture that is sometimes within the explosive composition range. 

Constant supervision of wine tanks Prompt and current chemical analysis Organoleptic analysis before and after all wine transfers Sanitation of tanks, hoses, equipment, and pipelines on a rigid schedule Use of N2 and CO2 for oxygen control in bulk wine, in pipelines and in tanks... 

There are many factors that nay adversely affect the daily production target, including both scheduled and unscheduled equipment outages associated with the GCs and the pipeline. It is therefore frequently necessary to cut back production in one area of the field and perhaps increase production in another area to compensate. Also, production rate limitations may be placed on individual wells because of reservoir conditions, for example, to prevent gas coning or water breakthrough. All of this is accomplished by adjustment of the flowline chokes. 

The prime customer is BOTAS, the gas and oil pipeline entity of Turkey, which is scheduled for privatisation. Turkey will buy Shah Deniz gas on an 80% annual Take or Pay contract with daily swings at the buyer s option. The sale point for Turkey is at the Turkish frontier. 

The South-Caucasian Gas Pipeline System (SCP) from Azerbaijan (Shah Deniz) to Turkey is now being planned. It is scheduled to go on stream in 2005. Its capacity will gradually increase as the Caspian gas fields develop. Hence, the amount of the option gas for the transit countries may vary a) over the seasons, and b) from year to year, similar to the fluctuating demand. 

A.1 An acid gas mixture (composed of 20% H2S and 80% COz) with a flow rate of 0.5 MMCFD is transported in a 200-m long pipeline from the plant site to the injection well. The acid gas enters the pipeline at 50°C and 10 000 kPa. The pipe is a 2-in Schedule 160 steel line. Assuming the soil temperature is 5°C, use the method of Carroll (via the software supplied) to estimate the temperature loss in the line. Calculate the required physical properties of the fluid using AQUAlibrium 3.0. 

An Integrated Framework for Operational Scheduling of a Real-World Pipeline Network... 

Scheduling activities related to oil product distribution have received a growing interest in the last years. Distribution and transfer operations of such products can be carried out by road, railroad, vessels, or pipelines. Pipelines are one of the most important transportation modes for oil products in Brazil. Some papers...
