Book excerpt: Na indústria do petróleo, a passagem de pigs em dutos tem sido largamente aplicada com diferentes propósitos: limpeza do tubo, inspeção, remoção de líquido e separação de produtos, entre outros. A eficiência e segurança de umaoperação com pig demandam que diversos parâmetros operacionais, tais como pressões máximas e mínimas no duto e velocidade de movimentação do pig, sejam bem avaliados durante a etapa de planejamento e mantidos dentro dedeterminados limites durante o acompanhamento da operação. Tendo como objetivo a obtenção de uma ferramenta eficiente para ajudar no controle e projeto das operações de passagem de pigs, desenvolveu-se um código numérico baseado no método de diferenças finitas para a simulação de escoamentos transientes de dois fluidos, podendo estes ser líquido-líquido, gás-gás ou líquido-gás. Módulos para controle automático das variáveis do processo foram incluídos, visando à previsão do escoamento mediante diferentes estratégias para alcançar uma operação eficiente. Problemas teste foram realizados, validando a metodologia. Por fim, os resultados obtidos com o simulador são comparados com um caso real de esvaziamento de um trecho do oleoduto OSPAR, pertencente à Petrobras, com30 de diâmetro e extensão de 60 km.

Download or read book Industrial Pigging Technology written by Gerhard Hiltscher and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-12-13 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pigs are snug-fitting plugs which are able to perform various maintenance tasks such as cleaning or removing deposits or blockages in pipe and pipeline systems from the inside. A gaseous or liquid propellant is used to push the pig through the system. This strategy avoids rinsing loss of valuable product, provides reduction of adverse environmental impacts, and gains high efficiency for less investment. The book describes clearly and methodically the important basic equipment required for the planning and design of pigging units. Many practical examples are shown for the operation of industrial pigging units, drawn from the authors' longtime experience in this technology. In this form and scope the book is an unrivaled presentation of this technology. Engineers and chemists who plan, construct, operate and maintain production plants in the chemical, food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical and petrochemical industry will find an invaluable source of advice and reference for pigging units.

This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pigs ainda são a ferramenta mais utilizada pela indústria para removerdepósitos de parafina em linhas submarinas de petróleo. A passagem de Pigs éconsiderada uma operação de risco, pois existe a possibilidade do gradiente depressão disponível para deslocar o Pig não ser suficiente para vencer as forças decontato entre o Pig e a parede do tubo e as forças necessárias para remoção dodepósito de parafina. Neste trabalho realizou-se um estudo experimental visandoo levantamento de dados de laboratório sobre as forças de contato Pig-tubo paraalguns tipos de Pigs comumente usados em operações de campo. Além disso, foram também determinadas forças para remoção de depósitos de parafinafabricados no laboratório sob condições controladas. Foi projetada e construídauma seção de testes onde os Pigs ensaiados eram puxados com velocidadeconstante através de trechos de tubo, sendo a força trativa de puxada monitoradacontinuamente por células de carga. Os resultados de força de contato Pig-tubosem depósito de parafina foram comparados com modelos teóricos disponíveisna literatura. Para o caso dos experimentos onde depósitos estavam presentes, asforças necessárias para a quebra dos depósitos foram também comparadas com oúnico modelo disponível na literatura. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que, para Pigs de disco e de espuma os modelos disponíveis prevêem as forças decontato Pig-tubo com incerteza aceitável. Para o caso de remoção de parafina acomparação com os experimentos desenvolvidos mostrou que o modelodisponível consegue estimar a força inicial para a quebra do depósito dentro deuma faixa de incerteza de " 30% para os Pigs de disco e de espuma.

Download or read book Gas Pipeline Hydraulics written by Shashi Menon and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is concerned with the steady state hydraulics of natural gas and other compressible fluids being transported through pipelines. Our main approach is to determine the flow rate possible and compressor station horsepower required within the limitations of pipe strength, based on the pipe materials and grade. It addresses the scenarios where one or more compressors may be required depending on the gas flow rate and if discharge cooling is needed to limit the gas temperatures. The book is the result of over 38 years of the authors' experience on pipelines in North and South America while working for major energy companies such as ARCO, El Paso Energy, etc.
Download or read book Pipeline Pigging and Integrity Technology Fourth Edition written by John Tiratsoo and published by Clarion. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since publication of the first edition of Pipeline Pigging and Integrity Technology 25 years ago, there have been massive advances the pigging and inspection industry: superb high-technology solutions have been developed, using some of the most advanced and reliable technology paralleling the aerospace industry, and feature assessments down to millimetric sizes are almost the norm. Inspection data interpretation has also developed to the stage where it's no longer a black art: survey results can be examined and analysed on a client's own PC or laptop, the thought of which was almost unheard of only a decade ago. But still some basic questions remain unanswered, probably the most basic of all being "how clean is my pipeline?" and "how best to design a pig launcher and receiver?" This book, as with previous editions, provides an overview of some of the latest thinking and achievements in the area of pigging technology and integrity management. Its content is 41 papers from the series of conferences entitled Pipeline Pigging & Integrity Management (now known as PPIM) that the publishers have organized in Houston and elsewhere between 2007 and 2012, chosen to represent a wide range of issues concerning the pipeline industry and maintenance of its integrity. Printed in full color throughout.
