Download Hydraulic Study of Glass-Reinforced Piping

This article deals with hydraulic study of GRE piping carried out for our client in Qatar. In the offshore platform, produced water is dumped into the water disposal well by gravity, bypassing the IGF (induced gas floatation) vessel and also the produced water disposal pumps. In the proposed system, produced water shall be collected in the IGF vessel and pumped to two water disposal wells (1 existing and 1 new). This article provides a method to calculate the maximum water flow rate that shall ensure the system is hydraulically balanced using PIPENET – Standard module.
