    gas pipeline grid pressure reduction

    Hi, Assume that the entity (A) is operating a gas pipelines grid of 900 km long at 50 kg/cm2. Gas is transferred to Another entity (B) at Dispatch terminal (DT), where B has compresser to take gas, at 50 kg/cm2, B transfers the gas to their pipeline network of 2000 km.. Flow is 120000 MMBTU...

    Gas pipeline venting flow calculation

    Thank you all for your replies. The pipeline is kept idle. But integrity assessment is need to be done. So we are going to do the ILI with gas venting. can anyone share me the excel file with formula & data input.

    Gas pipeline venting flow calculation

    We have a 20 inch, 41 km of natural gas pipeline, which needs to be pigged by ILI tool. The pipeline has no gas flow. Hence pigging is planned by venting the gas at receiver end. The ILI vendor informed that the pipeline shall be filled to 15 bar, before launching the PIG. venting is planned by...

    Gas terminal piping integrity assessment

    Hi all, I am working in Gas pipeline transportation, has cross country pipelines and terminals. I have below doubts 1) Is there any way to find the terminal pipe grade? any survey . Because in old terminals, pipe/bend materials used are of different thickness than the A333 or A106 Gr B. Also...

    Hydrotest pressure drop analysis

    @Stressguy: Actually the pipeline was handling wet gas. Hence we wanted to do Integrity Assessment of this pipeline. @littleinch: It's CP protected. In 2019, DA Direct Assessment done. Found no external corrosion in ECDA. 04 locations dig verification done with metal loss of 6% in ICDA. MAOP...

    Hydrotest pressure drop analysis

    Hi all, We have natural gas Pipeline laid in 1997. Pigging is done quarterly. API 5L X46 PIPE. Wall thickness= 4.36 mm. We have done the hydrotest of 4'' 2.61 km long in service natural gas pipeline. The test pressure kept as 15 kg/cm2. But the pressure started dropping, to reach 10.8 kg/cm2. I...

    LPG Liquid expansion turbine??

    We are operating cross country LPG pipeline system. We have PRV, to reduce the pressure of LPG from 20 Kg/cm2 to 9 kg/cm2. But i feel that we can replace the PRV with Turbine expander, which will letdown the pr & produce electricity. Does my idea work...? Can someone help me in turbineexpander...

    LPG flushing by water

    Hi BigInch, We have 2 filters(1+1)A & B, If filter-A DP is high, then take the filter-B in line.Isolate filter-A, and empty the LPG(@ 20 Kg/cm2, 1.5 MT qty) by flaring, thru blowdown line. I need a solution to extract this LPG from filter. Now my doubt is, can we push this LPG by high pr. water...

    Online Pump curve developer

    Hi SNORGY, In your idea, we have to input the flow & head to develop the curve using that CURVE EXPRT. am i right...? Hi BigInch, can i get the curve using PLC data...? if so, how..?

    Do we need the min. flow re-circulation line..?

    We have the VSD driven LPG pumps(270 m3/hr & I/L pr=20 O/L pr=70 Kg/cm2 ). As per the operation seq, disch. valve will start open after 50 secs & speed set has reached. For ex. if 2500 rpm, is set then disch. valve will start open after the pump reaches the 2500 rpm. Valve opening time is 35...

    LPG flushing by water

    We are operating the cross country LPG pipeline. We have Filter , pumps. During maintenance of filter, we isolate the filter and flare LPG, to empty the filter. I came to know that we can flush the filter with the high pr. water. LPG can be transfered to the process piping, then isolate the...

    Online Pump curve developer

    We have the pump curve( Flow Vs Head & Efficiency) given by OEM. I want the system or software, which will have the curve installed. Also which will show me the online live values of flow, head and efficiency. So that i can know, which point i m operating the pump? Here, the input data can be...

    MOV not opening fully

    Valve stays in TRAVEL MODE (between open & close). We did not do any work on these MOV's. These MOV's were working normal for 10 years, before overhauling of the pumps. Will there be any effect of Pressure on MOV's...? I know that if Pr. diff across valve is high, then opening the valves is...
