Transmission pipelines

Natural gas must meet certain specifications before it qualifies for fuel. It should also meet certain dew point characteristics before entering a transmission pipeline. Water dew point is controlled and maintained by stationary equipment such as molecular sieves or dehydration by glycol. Hydrocarbon dew point, on the other hand, can...

Transmission pipelines operating at high pressures are always constructed of welded steel. Recommendations are contained in the Institution of Gas Engineers publication TD/1, Steel Pipelines for High Pressure Gas Transmission. 

Another problem can arise if the probes and monitors are working properly but the probe is placed improperly (this is very common in natural gas transmission pipelines). Then the probe does not measure the needed conditions and environment. The data obtained by the probe will not tell the whole story and can in fact give very misleading results. 

Hydride Compressors using reversible metal hydride alloys offer an economical alternative to traditional mechanical compressors for GH2. The simplicity and passive operation of the hydride compression process offers many advantages over mechanical compressors. Hydride compressors are compact, silent, do not have dynamic seals, require very little maintenance, and can operate unattended for long periods. However, they are a very new and may be difficult to be built at the scale required for GH2 transmission pipeline service. 

Because of the consequence of a failure in a transmission pipeline system, a pilot-scale R D and demonstration pipeline system may be needed before designing commercial large-scale hydrogen pipeline systems. An International Hydrogen Transmission Test Facility (IHTTF) or International Hydrogen Renewable Transmission Demonstration Facility (IHRTDF) has been proposed for this purpose [4,5].

Embrittlement of service materials. The low temperatures inside storage tanks and transmission pipelines may cause significant susceptibleness of the structural material in vibrations and shocks. Mild steel and most iron alloys, at LH2 temperatures, lose their ductility being liable to increased risk of mechanical failure [50]. 

The provisions of this paragraph are applicable to transmission pipelines and are in addition to those described in para. GR-5.2. 

Rules for this Part of the Code apply to transmission pipelines, distribution pipelines, and service lines used for transporting hydrogen from a production facility to the point of final use.

The facilities on this combined drilling and production plotform are designed to produce ond treot the reservoir fluid which contains up to 4% carbon dioxide ond is saturated with water vapour, so that the gas and hydrocarbon liquids can be sofely transmitted to shore without corroding the transmission pipeline.
