SP3D- An Efficient Role in Pipeline Transportation

1. SP3D- An Efficient Role in Pipeline Transportation

2. SP3D • A product by Intergraph • Modeling Software used for Pipe Designing • Helps Pipe Designers to improvise work abilities • Brings down manual efforts to a higher extent

3. Pipeline Transportation • Used for transporting materials which gave rise to the term Pipeline Transport • Includes the process of transferring liquid, gases or the solid products even to long distances • Target sources may include consumers, manufacturers, or agricultural

4. Types of Transported Materials • Ammonia • Oil or Natural Gas • Hydrogen • Beer Coal and Ore Biofuels

5. Types of Pipeline Transport Technology Conventional or ‘energy’ Pipelines Slurry Pipelining Capsule Pipelining

6. Conventional or ‘energy’ Pipelines • Used to transport oil, water, or natural gas • Mostly used to transfer energy; hence, named as Energy Pipelines as well • One of the most economic modes to transport huge amount of energy from one place to another

7. Slurry Pipelining • The material is first converted into granular and further into slurry, before it is transported • Slurry is pumped in the pipes to reach the destination point • Mostly used in the cases where the material is in raw form and then refined for the final product

8. Capsule Pipelining • Quality register is used to keep the track of the progress of a Project • The deliverables of the project are checked timely and compared against the defined targets
