SP3D- An Efficient Role in Pipeline Transportation
SP3D • • • •
A product by Intergraph Modeling Software used for Pipe Designing Helps Pipe Designers to improvise work abilities Brings down manual efforts to a higher extent
Pipeline Transportation •
Used for transporting materials which gave rise to the term Pipeline Transport
•
Includes the process of transferring liquid, gases or the solid products even to long distances
•
Target sources may include consumers, manufacturers, or agricultural
Types of Transported Materials Ammonia
Oil or Natural Gas
Hydrogen
Beer
Coal and Ore
Biofuels
Types of Pipeline Transport Technology
Conventional or ‘energy’ Pipelines
Slurry Pipelining
Capsule Pipelining
Conventional or ‘energy’ Pipelines • • •
Used to transport oil, water, or natural gas Mostly used to transfer energy; hence, named as Energy Pipelines as well One of the most economic modes to transport huge amount of energy from one place to another
Slurry Pipelining •
The material is first converted into granular and further into slurry, before it is transported
•
Slurry is pumped in the pipes to reach the destination point
•
Mostly used in the cases where the material is in raw form and then refined for the final product
Capsule Pipelining •
Quality register is used to keep the track of the progress of a Project
•
The deliverables of the project are checked timely and compared against the defined targets
