The applicabilities and validities of two methodologies fur the prediction of THM (trihalomethane) formation in a water pipeline system were proposed and discussed. One is the multiple regression technique and the other is an artificial neural network technique. There are many factors which influence water quality, especially THMs formations in water pipeline systems. In this study, the prediction models of THM formation in water pipeline systems are developed based on the independent variables proposed by American Water Works Association(AWWA). Multiple linear/nonlinear regression models are estimated and three layer feed-forward artificial neural networks have been used to predict the THM formation in a water pipeline system. Input parameters of the models consist of organic compounds measured in water pipeline systems such as TOC, DOC and UV254. Also, the reaction time to each measuring site along pipeline is used as input parameter calculated by a hydraulic analysis. Using these variables as model parameters, four models are developed. And the predicted results from the four developed models are compared statistically to the measured THMs data set. It is shown that the artificial neural network approaches are much superior to the conventional regression approaches and that the developed models by neural network can be used more efficiently and reproduce more accurately the THMs formation in water pipeline systems, than the conventional regression methods proposed by AWWA.

The owner of underground metallic structures (gas pipeline, oil pipeline, water pipeline, etc) has a burden of responsibility for the corrosion protection in order to prevent big accidents like gas explosion, soil pollution, leakage and so on. So far, Cathodic Protection(CP) technology have been implemented for protection of underground systems. The stray current from DC subway system in Korea has affected the cathodic protection (CP) design of the buried pipelines adjacent to the railroads. In this aspect, KERI has developed a various mitigation method, drainage system through steel bar under the rail, a stray current gathering mesh system, insulation method between yard and main line, distributed ICCP(Impressed Current Cathodic System), High speed response rectifier, restrictive drainage system, Boding ICCP system. We installed the mitigation system at the real field and test of its efficiency in Busan and Seoul, Korea. In this paper, the results of field test, especially, distributed ICCP are described.

Effect of conductance factors on performance of vacuum system was simulated for optimum design of vacuum system. In this investigation, the feasibility of modeling mechanism for VacSim$^{Multi}$ simulator was proposed. Application specific design of vacuum system is required to meet the particular process conditions for various industrial implementations of vacuum equipments. Geometry and length, diameter of exhaust pipeline were modeled as simulation modeling variables for conductance effects. Series vacuum system was modeled and simulated with varied dimensions and structures of exhaust pipeline. Variation of pipeline diameter showed the more significant effects on vacuum characteristics than that of pipeline length variations. It was also observed that the aperture structure of pipeline had the superior vacuum characteristics among the modeled systems.

In this paper, PIG(Pipeline Investigation Gauge) system is introduced and off-line navigation method for the system is studied. Off-line navigation is obtained by using a smoothing filter and the position of the point with some problems in gas pipeline can be detected with a good accuracy in real pipeline investigation experiment.

The geometry PIG provides pipeline operators with continuous measurement of pipe centerline coordinates, bend radius, displacement, and bending strain in a single pass through the pipeline. This study introduces the developed geometry PIG(Pipeline Inspection Gauge) which is used for geometry surveys. This tool is equipped with the several sensor systems. The Inertial Navigation System (INS) comprises angle rate gyros and linear accelerometers. The system measures the precise path of the PIG during its traverse of the pipeline. This system is also used to produce a detailed map of the lire, measure curvature. Odometers measure the PIG´s distance moved along the line and instantaneous speed during the PIG run. Caliper sensors measure pipeline ...

The major parameters governing the fluid dynamical and thermo-dynamical behavior in the large pipeline network system are friction loss and the pipeline length. But in local pipeline networks and relatively short distance pipeline system, secondary loss and the considerations of the moving states of the fluid machine are also important. One of the major element in local pressure control system is pressure regulator. It causes the variations of the physical properties in that pipeline system. Especially, as there is not enough information to obtain reliable physical property values such as density, temperature etc. at the downstream of the pressure regulator, It is hard to calculate accurate solution in the pipeline network analysis. In this study, some numerical approaches to investigate the critical-flow-characteristics of the pressure regulator have been done and the detail examinations and considerations of the pressure regulator as a pipeline network elements according to the variations of the inlet-outlet pressure ratio have been carried. Finally the flow-flied distributions, relations and critical-flow-characteristics have been studied. in detail and the 1D analytic method to analyze critical pipe flow have been investigated

육상에서 석유 제품의 수송에 가장 많이 활용되는 방법이 송유관을 이용하는 방법이다. 그러나 누유 혹은 도유로 인한 대형사고 및 환경 재해의 위험이 있기 때문에 일반적으로 누유 감지 시스템 (Leak Detection System)을 활용하여 이에 대처하고 있다. 장거리 송유관에 많이 활용되는 방법은 저압확장파((Negative Pressure Wave)를 활용한 누유 감지 기법인데 저압확장파 기반의 시스템은 감지 성능이 뛰어나지만 높은 오알람 발생률로 인하여 누유 알람의 신뢰성이 저하되는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 송유관 양단의 유량 차이 (Volume Balance) 비교를 추가로 활용하여 저압확장파 기반 누유 감지 시스템의 오알람을 필터링하는 알고리즘과 실험 결과를 제시한다.

This paper describes performance evaluation of design parameters, air velocity inside a pipeline and pressure along a pipeline, using experimental measurements in an automated vacuum waste collection system. Automatic robot having six cameras is introduced to analyze the internal pipeline conditions whether waste accumulates at the bottom of the pipeline or not. Throughout the experimental measurements of the pipeline having the various shapes, it is found that pressure and internal air velocity linearly increase along the pipeline from a waste inlet to a waste collection station while air density decreases due to the air compression effect with high pressure. Although air velocity inside the pipeline at a waste inlet keeps design velocity range between 20 m/s and 30 m/s, it is noted that air velocity near the waste collection station exceeds maximum design velocity of 30 m/s. Pressure increase per unit length is changed from 17.6 Pa/m to 18.9 Pa/m, which depends on the air velocity inside the pipeline. From the investigation inside the pipeline with CCTV loaded on an automated robot, waste accumulated at the bottom of the pipeline is mainly found at the downstream of a circular curved pipe, an inclined pipe and a bended pipe.

An autonomous pipeline inspection gauge system has been developed for determining position, orientation, curvature, and deformations such as dents and wrinkles of operating pipelines by Korea Gas Company and Seoul National University. The most important part of several subsystems is the Strapdown Inertial Measurement Unit (SIMU), which is integrated with velocity and distance sensors, weld detection system, and digital recording device. The Geometry Pipeline Inspection Gauge (GeoPIG) is designed to operate continuously and autonomously for a week or longer in operating gas pipelines. In this paper, the design concepts, system integration, and data processing/analysis method for the PIG will be presented. Results from the recent experiment for a 58 kilometer gas pipeline will be discussed.
