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
• Current political and environment climate e.g. y y Keystone and Gateway Calgary Pump Symposium 2013
