  Pipeline transport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When talking about the transportation of large quantities of oil or natural gas on the surface, pipeline transport is the only economically feasible way.
Although pipelines can be built even under the sea, that process is both economically and technically very demanding, so the majority of oil at sea is transported by tanker ships.
Pipelines are useful for transporting water for drinking or irrigation over long distances when it needs to move over hills, or where canals or channels are poor choices due to considerations of evaporation, pollution, or environmental impact.

 ARCS Remediation Guidance Document--Chapter 5
Transport technologies are used to move sediments and treatment residues between components of a remedial alternative.
Transport is the component that links the other components of a remedial alternative, and may involve several different technologies or modes of transport.
For a sediment remedial alternative, pipelines may be used for the discharge from a hydraulic dredge; with the hydraulic pumpout from a tank barge, railcar, or truck trailer; and in routing process water, effluent, or leachate to treatment systems.

 History::Russian pipeline transport (1917-1945)
The planned pipelines were to transport 40 million poods of oil in one year with their length to be as follows: approximately 950 versts (old Russian distance measurement unit, equal to 3500 ft) of Grozny - Shterovka and approximately 450 versts of Stalingrad - Shterovka.
In March of 1943, 100-mm pipeline was laid across the Don that was used as a part of the railroad bridge, because the bridge was destroyed.
The study of the pipeline transport as of 1917 to 1945 shows that the throughput of specific trunk oil pipelines was not completely used.

 The Pipeline Transport of Different Sand Fractions in Dense Slurries   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The paper analyses the effect of concentration and size of transported solid particles on the economy of the transportation of slurries by relating the specific energy consumption.
The observations indicate that it is beneficial to transport fine to medium sands in highly concentrated slurries.
To ensure safe and economic operation the sand-water slurry in a horizontal pipeline should be transported at velocities for which the granular bed sliding over a pipeline wall starts to disintegrate and dissolve.

 Magplane Pipeline Transport
Magplane's development of capsule pipeline systems was initiated by the desire of the Florida Phosphate Industry to find a cost effective way to reduce the environmental impact of conventional transportation of their very large quantities of material.
A 30 mile pipeline from the mining region to the port would be a potential solution, but would need to be sufficiently cost effective relative to more conventional transportation to result in a satisfactory return on capital.
The case studies show that pipeline diameters ranging from 18 to 24 inches and vehicle speeds of 20 to 40 mph are generally optimal for systems operating in the 3 to 30 mile, l to 10 million tons/year range.

 History::Russian pipeline transport (1860-1917)
Shukhov overcame the difficulties - the pipeline was built, and the year of 1878 went down in history as the year of construction of the first Russian field pipeline, and the pipeline itself became the ancestor of the giant network of trunk pipelines that are operating nowadays.
For oil pipeline supporters a new stage of fight for their cause begins, where many factors need to be taken into account, including the underestimation of their main opponent and his influence in the governmental circles.
The pipeline was built along the railroad line, very close to it: given that the air line between these ends was 725 km and the railroad line length was 900 km, the pipeline route was 835 km long.

The recently constructed pipeline test loop for fundamental and applied research into the use of hydraulic transport for complex, high-concentration suspensions at CSIRO BCE’s Advanced Fluid Dynamics Laboratory in Melbourne offers industry the chance to overcome problems associated with pipeline transport.
For example, many of the materials currently transported by pipeline are actually two or more phases such as pastes and suspensions or oil-water-gas mixtures, and many also exhibit non-Newtonian rheology in contrast to simple fluids like water.
Pipeline equipment manufacturers can test their equipment in a more controlled manner than would be possible in an industrial situation.

 Capsule Pipeline Transport Using An Electromagnetic Drive
It is used to transport limestone at a rate of 2 million metric tons per year between the Karasawa mine and the Sumitomo Cement plant, a distance of 3200 meters.
In a freight transport pipeline there is no need for the capsules to maintain a constant velocity, and therefore no need to cover the entire length of the line with motor windings.
For the prototype 610 mm pipeline and 545 kg loaded capsule, the minimum percent coverage required on flat ground is 5% if vehicles are traveling at 1 second intervals and are permitted to lose 10% of their 17.9 m/s speed before re-acceleration.

Large payload module: with a payload module of 400ft (123m) in length, the 160-ft lengths of pipeline produced at the factory need not be cut for transport and welded back together on site: indeed, two lengths could be welded at source and carried as a single 320-ft section.
The SkyCat could even unload the pipeline directly alongside the trench by taxying on its hover-cushions and discharging the pipe behind it by means of a system of ramp rollers.
Other key applications: these include the transportation of crews and accommodation units as well as heavy equipment in units (such as compressors) – and particularly in regions otherwise accessible only in certain seasons of the year.

 Odessa – Brody pipeline will transport Caspian, not Russian oil - PRAVDA.Ru   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
For several months there were debates in the Ukraine how to use the pipeline: to transport Caspian oil to Europe or to transport Russian oil to the Black Sea coast.
As for the “Donetsk clan”, with the support of the EU it was pushing the project of using the idle pipeline according to its name, that is for transporting oil from Odessa to Brody, and then to constructing the supplement line from Brody to Polish city Gdansk.
Yet earlier the director of the business-plan project for transporting Caspian oil to Europe along Odessa- Brody pipeline, manager of PricewaterhouseCoopers auditing company Philip Hatman said that temporarily use of the pipeline for transporting Russian oil will block its usage for delivering oil to Europe in future.
