The article analyzes the issue of protection of oil pipelines from high-pressure waves arising from pressure pulsation, water impacts during normal or abnormal shutdown of pumping units or an intermediate pumping station caused by the unauthorized closure of valves, etc. Main aspects of implementation of anti-pressure systems (APS) were considered and economic criteria for their installation on existing and projected oil pipelines were determined. An example of calculation of non-stationary processes required to substantiate the expediency of using high-pressure pumps at intermediate oil pumping stations was presented. The main types of system designs, features of their operation and planned maintenance were presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
