Solution Provided | Developed a model to analyse a wharf’s multipurpose pipeline system. The pipeline reutilised an existing pipeline installed beneath the wharf and required the ability to connect into the ship’s transfer pipe.
Discipline | Mechanical Engineering
Carnac – Project Delivery Services Pty Ltd (Carnac) provided engineering services to develop a 3D model of a new multipurpose pipeline system connecting a wharf to the inland tank facility. Carnac’s assessment included the following:
Designed a pig station for the topside of the wharf based on the client’s standard design;
Designed an option development for a long radius bend beneath the wharf;
Produced a model to analyse piping friction losses and pipe velocities; and
Simulated 8 scenarios of a combination of pump and valve operation in Fluid Flow 3 and Hytran Transient Analysis Software.
