Hi, I'm still having some trouble with this. I'm looking for a simple order of magnitude model to calculate the mixing interface for this problem.
I tried using a model from a paper by Rachid, Araujo and Baptista, but it was FAR too involved for the estimation we need. To the point where I...
My original post probably wasn't clear enough. Yes, the diluted bitumen line will actually be reversed, purging the currrent dilbit that is in the line back towards the field. I wish I could be absolutely specific about the details, but we're in the very preliminary stages of looking at this...
We are currently in the process of reversing the flow of one of our hydrocarbon pipelines (from diluted bitumen to diluent). I'm looking into the various ways this could be accomplished.
The first, which seems the cleanest, is to use N2 to push the diluted bitumen out, run cleaning and drying...
