Pipeline transport is the transportation of goods through a pipe. Liquids and gases are transported in pipelines and any chemically stable substance can be sent through a pipeline. Seawage, slurry, water, and even beer pipelines exist; but arguably the most valuable are those transporting crude petroleum and refined petroleum product including fuels: oil and natural gas. Pneumatic tubes using compressed air can be used to transport solid capsules. Not many companies to use the carrier. They have advantages and disadvantages. The advantages is low rates, warehouse functions and unaffected by weather. Disadvantages are slow speed, limited geographic flexibility and limited number of product. They also cannot be easily extended to complete door to door service.
How does a pipelines work? To transport products, pipelines have to be full, since each product propels another. There also has to be sufficient receiving capacity at the exit point to handle the batches.
A pipeline that carries a number of different products is known as a multi-product pipeline. The product batches propel one another in a predefined sequence, which is determined in line with the compatibility and specifications of the products carried (diesel and home heating oil, unleaded regular gasoline and unleaded premium gasoline). Only jet fuel cannot be transported with other products, for safety reasons
They are general pipelines can be classified in three categories depending on purpose is Gathering pipelines. In this group, pipelines are usually short- a couple of hundred meters and with small diameters. Also sub-sea pipelines for collecting product from deep water production platforms are considered gathering systems.
Transportation pipelines is Mainly long pipes with large diameters, moving products (oil, gas, refined products) between cities, countries and even continents. These transportation networks include several compressor stations in gas lines or pump stations for crude and multi-products pipelines.
Distribution pipelines is Composed of several interconnected pipelines with small diameters, used to take the products to the final consumer. Pipelines at terminals for distributing products to tanks and storage facilities are included in this group.
