Key issues:
- Due to system lengths (+-100 km pipeline between tap off points) long periods for maintenance is required.
- Ensure Client delivery rates are met during maintenance intervals.
- Reduce pumping requirements.
- Quick what if studies of various system configurations.
Methodology:
- Familiar and easy to use interface for Engineers.
- Steady State Simulation to provide quick answers.
Solution:
- Flownex Model provided comprehensive tool to quickly and efficiently determine various maintenance distribution scenarios which ensured all client delivery rates were achieved.
