Scope | Project scope included engineering and procurement of a Crude Quality Control System (CQCS), taking into account normalized pressure losses at given fluid flow rates in various operating modes. Engineering stage included the required nominal sizes calculation for the unit pipelines. |
Project Specific | Project required CQCS pipelines modelling with multiple operating modes. Two parts of the system, filter battery and the oil quantity measuring system, were calculated and considered separately. When calculating the filter battery, three modes of operation of this piping were simulated:
When calculating the oil quantity measurement system, multiple scenarios were also simulated:

PASS software used | PASS/HYDROSYSTEM |
How PASS software helped in the project execution | PASS/HYDROSYSTEM was used for the branch diameters calculation in order to comply with the allowable pressure losses at the required flow rates of the transferred product. PASS/HYDROSYSTEM helped to accurately assess all aspects of the piping system in various modes. The assesment results allowed to select the optimal pipeline diameters for all modes of operation. The wide functionality of the software made it possible to accurately consider all the details and elements of the calculation model: flow meters, filters and other equipment, which caused a considerable influence on the operation of this piping system. A convenient and user-friendly PASS/HYDROSYSTEM interface allowed switching easily between different operating modes and performing calculations for each of them. PASS/HYDROSYSTEM helped to significantly reduce time required for modelling, calculation, comparison and engineering interpretation of the results. |
Results | In 2017 CQCS unit was manufactured, delivered to the Customer and now is used in the normal operating mode. |
