Impact of low liquid hold-up levels within natural gas transmission pipelines and the influence on particle deposition

Summary

To help ensure the reliability of natural gas supply to power generation facilities in Western Australia, this project addressed the problem of elemental sulphur deposition by construction of a flow loop, for experiments on fluid flow behaviour at pipe ‘T’ junctions.

The result will assist pipeline designers and operators.
