• Design Considerations
• Flow Rate, Destination Pressure
• Pipeline Route Established
PD
• Optimization
• Pipe Size, Pressure, Compression and
pumping, Booster Stations
Distance
• Finalize pipe diameter, booster stations
There is a tradeoff between large dia pipes (high initial cost, low
pumping cost) and small dia pipes (low initial cost, high pumping
cost).
The best pipe diameter is one that minimizes the life cycle cost of
the system.

Route Survey and Selection: Satellite images along the possible route
of pipeline, physical survey maps and contour diagrams are studied
to select optimum route. The selected route is pegged by the survey
team with markers or pillars.

Basics of SCADA
Definition
SCADA stands for Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition.
It refers to the combination of the fields of telemetry and data
acquisition. Extensive use of telemetry to link physically isolated
measurement and control points is feature of SCADA System.
SCADA Comprises of –
h The collection of the information (pressure, temperature, flow,
equipment status, safety information etc.) along the pipeline.
h Transfer of information from the remote site to Master Control
Station (MCC).
h Analysis, monitoring and control of the system from MCC.
h Display and reporting of the received information.
h Leak detection.

How to Handle a Waxy Crude Contd.
Method – 1 Contd.
Let us assume, based on viscosity measurements
under flowing condition the required discharge
pressure of pipeline transfer pump is 30 bar.
Estimated “break-thru pressure” is 90 bar.
The scheme of pumping will look as given below.
Transfer Pump
30 bar Disch. Pr., full capacity
Break-thru Pump
90 bar Disch. Pr., small capacity
