Gas Pipeline Design Rules

gas pipelines have two key additional design rules beyond the core design rules pipeline pumping technical parameters tells optioneer how to model the physical characteristics of the pipeline under consideration to calculate key hydraulic outputs including mean velocity, head loss values, pipe mass, pressure values, pipe volume, total head, installed power requirement, flow rate, static head, cumulative friction loss values, friction loss values, friction head, constraint violations, excess head, velocity values pipeline pumping costing parameters get optioneer to calculate costing outputs for pipeline pumping requirements outputs include totex for pipeline pumps, total mechanical opex, opex for pipeline mechanical cost split over each point, total eica opex, capex for pipeline pumps, totex for pipeline pumps installation and operation split over each point, discount period, opex for pipeline pumping electricity split over each point, total pump opex, opex for pipeline eica cost split over each point, capex for pipeline pumps split over each point, annual pump opex, annual opex additionally, custom datasets are generally provided for gas pipeline projects to reflect industry standard guidance such as igem td 1 the most important factor of hydrogen and co2 pipeline projects is public safety however, there isn’t a prescriptive method for routing ‘safely’ government issued pipeline documents are written for natural gas projects and they are yet to release guidance for hydrogen and co2 developments in general, the further away from populations the better optioneer has been used at the forefront of hydrogen and co2 developments, where users have benefitted significantly from safety information represented in visually intuitive gis forms with advanced, automated analytics for team decision making
