Transportation of HSD through LPG pipeline
Transportation of HSD through LPG pipeline
(OP)
Dear Sir/Mam,
We are exploring feasibility of transportation of HSD through LPG pipelines. While we are looking into various operational as well as infrastructure requirements, one of challenge that is emerging is the handling of LPG-HSD interface at delivery locations.
Can you please suggest some method to handle the LPG-HSD interface at delivery locations.
Regards
Mohit Garg

RE: Transportation of HSD through LPG pipeline
TO avoid flashing the LPG into an interface tank and having to deal with some violent two phase flow / large volumes of vapour, you will need to send the interface to a pressurized vessel able to handle LPG at your pumping temperature and keep it liquid.
What you do with the interface after that is up to you, but I would slowly lower pressure and let the LPG flash off and then use the LPG gas for something useful then pump the HSD into the HSD tank.

Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.

That plus the coast of the pigging and the added risk from the operation male it non preferred.
