Evaluation on the Operation and Management Technologies in Korla--Shanshan Oil Pipeline

The technological evaluation has been made on the transportation process, automation system, electrical system, fire control and heating systems for the Korla--Shanshan oil pipeline engineering. Because some technologies and construction standards in the design, such as tight-line pumping process at ambiant temperature, international standards of pipeline construction, as well as SCADA system, were adopted in the construction of pipeline, the pipeline has proved to be safe in the operation. The dispatch and management for the whole pipeline is by means of the sub-control center located in the original pumping station, and the intermediate pumping sta.tions are designed to be unattended. The actual operating circumstance of the pipeline shows that the functions of all systems for the stations and tanks meet the needs of the design.
