“…To account for such extra flow reductions in a simple and effective way, it is a common practice to use a corrective multiplying factor, the efficiency factor η, which usually takes values between 0.8 and 1. Mohitpour et al (2000) suggest η values between 0.92 and 0.97, although experience recommends that for old piping it can be as low as 0.7, Osiadacz (1987 …”

“…The development of the flow equation is commonly found in several books and publications in Fluid Mechanics or connected to industrial gas utilization technologies (Pritchard et al, 1978;Katz and Lee, 1990), consequently it is useless to present once again such derivation.

Optimization problems in gas pipeline transportation involve numerous variables, multiple objectives and many complex linear-nonlinear equality and inequality constraints. The optimization techniques used for solving multiobjective gas transportation problems are essentially different as those for single-objective optimization. Discovering the Pareto front and non-dominated set of solutions for the nonlinear multiobjective pipeline problem obliges noteworthy registering exertion. In the present paper, for solving multiobjective gas pipeline transportation problem, a multiobjective ant colony optimization technique for pipeline optimization has been developed. The multiobjective problem considered is about minimizing fuel consumption in compressors and maximizing throughput. For validation of the technique used, it has been applied on some test problems reported in the literature. After validation, the technique has then been implemented in the gas pipeline transportation problem. An eighteen-node gas pipeline network has been taken for analysis. The result obtained supports the industrial practice of maximizing throughput at the cost of an increase in fuel consumption in compressors. The technique employed and the results obtained may be used by the pipeline operators and managers to develop strategies for improving the operating conditions of gas pipeline network.

Pipelines are continuous large‐diameter piping systems. Usually buried underground where feasible, through which gases, liquids, or solids suspended in fluids are transported over considerable distances. They are used to move water, wastes, minerals, chemicals, and industrial gases, but primarily crude oil, petroleum products, and natural gas. In the oil and gas business, a pipeline consists of a trunkline, ie, the large diameter, high pressure, long distance portion of the piping system through which the crude oil is shipped to refineries, or natural gas and oil products, respectively, are transported to distribution points, and smaller low pressure gathering lines that transport oil or gas from wells to the trunkline. Smaller lines used by natural gas distributors are not considered part of a gas pipeline system. This article gives information on the historical perspective of pipeline development and includes natural gas and liquid pipelines. Pipelines are a more economical form of transportation than rail or tuck, and are usually secure within a nation or between friendly neighbors. Physical pipeline development consists of several logical steps such as route selection, regulatory application, design, maintenance, construction, and commissioning. A complete checklist is provided. The Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Act of 1968 began the regulation of natural pipeline transmission.
