NGL Pipelines
NGL Pipelines
(OP)
We have a new job - to build and commission a NGL Pipeline.
Never done this before. Crude Oil, yes. Gas, Yes.
IN order to stop teh NGL evaporating on injection into the line I guess we have to pre-pressure it.
Anybody commissioned a NGL Pipeline? Tips, hazards etc?
Replies appreciated.

If you you have a specific question then i may help you - but this is ridiculus (in my mind).
BTW: Yes you can elevate the preesure in the line and avoid evaporation of the fluid while its being pumped in the line.

I can't generate enough empathy or pity for any "manager" or vp of a P/L company that is willing to release a contract for an NGL P/L to an engineering firm that has no experience in that application.
I know we are all presently under-staffed and starved for experienced resources, but that kind of decision is bordering on the dangerous side - economically and operationally (& also on the ridiculous, as Morten states).

Then have the client list available storage or gas systems available. List if they have some NGL that can be used and recylcled.
Then ask for some guideance.
If the line has some rises, you know the drill on pressures, becarefull.

LNG is liquified natural gas - essentially liquified methane at cryogenic temperatures for trans-ocean shipment from places like Algeria.
NGL includes ethane, propane, butane and heavier liquids extracted from natural gas. Extracting the hydrocarbon liquids also removes water moisture as part of the natural gas processing for pipeline gas sales. The pressurized ambient temperature ethane, propane, butane and heavier liquids are fractionated and sold as products.

NGL (natural gas liquids) - "Portions of natural gas that are liquefied at the surface in lease separators, field facilities, or gas processing plants, leaving dry natural gas. They include, but are not limited to, ethane, propane, butane, natural gasoline, and condensate."
