Blending into Pipeline
Blending into Pipeline
(OP)
I have a client who is going to blend biodiesel into ULSD at the Pipeline. They want to blend to make B5 and send it along the pipeline.
I am not totally responsible for the design of this area, however, I am designing the pumps/piping up to the pipeline tie in. So far I have zero information about the equipment/conditions that will be at the pipeline and I am starting to feel like they don't know what they will be doing.
Can anyone give me an idea of the equipment necessary to do the job and any special attachment methods required?
I appreciate the help in advance.

RE: Blending into Pipeline
The pipeline may insist that you install a static mixer and a totalized meter for the mixture as it enters the pipeline. They may insist on aproportional sampler to geta sample that can be analyzed for the exact composition. You may need a desitomter on the streams as well for QC reasons or for continious adjustment to the flow meters (for T&P also).

If you plan to actually do it in a third party's pipeline, get their advice, permission and any quality control requirements they might have too.

I was just wondering about the specific equipment that will be located out at the pipeline, because I need specify the pumps.
