Calgary Pump Symposium 2013

Presenter Name Bio Ralph Dickau Ralph Dickau is a Senior Engineering Specialist at Enbridge Pipelines. Ralph has worked for Enbridge for almost 30 years in a variety of roles  and has been involved in pump station design, pump selection,  dh b i l di i d i l i installation, writing company specifications and standards for pumps,  trouble shooting pump operating problems, and vibration analysis. Ralph has presented courses on pipeline pumps for Enbridge  p p pp p p g International to companies from many parts of the world. Ralph has presented at the ASME International Pipeline Conference,  and Texas A&M International Pump Users Symposium.  Ralph currently sits on the PRCI Pump and Compressor Technical Ralph currently sits on the PRCI Pump and Compressor Technical  Committee and the API 610 12th edition taskforce.

What Makes Pipeline Pumps Unique What Makes Pipeline Pumps Unique • Pump stations are unmanned • Help can be 100s of km away • Control of the pumps can be 1000s of km  p p away at a control center in another country • Pumps may be run stop/start Pumps may be run stop/start • Large flow variability • Rely on instrumentation for control and  R l i i f l d protection Calgary Pump Symposium 2013

What Makes Pipeline Pumps Unique What Makes Pipeline Pumps Unique • Frequently multi Frequently multi‐products products in the pipe in the pipe • Pump efficiency is very important • Electric power costs are high l i hi h – Eg. 24” pipe, 1000 mile long, 300 kbpd heavy  crude @ $0.08 /kwh d $ /k h – $100,000,000 per year

What Makes Pipeline Pumps Unique What Makes Pipeline Pumps Unique • Pipelines and Pump Stations are built to:  Pipelines and Pump Stations are built to: – CSA Z662 in Canada (Gas and Liquid) – ASME B31.4 in USA

• Regulatory codes by Federal and State or  Provincial Governments – NEB Act and Regulations in Canada – DOT CFR 49 Part 105 in USA
