background economic consequence analysis is vital for recognizing pipeline comprehensive risk analysis and emergency response planning. objectives the purpose of this study was to estimate economic loss due to fire and explosion in petrochemical feed and product pipelines. materials and methods the present study which performed on 47 pipelines of a petrochemical special zone, pertinent pipeline...

risk assessment and management of petrochemical feed and product transportation pipelines is very important to preventing probable accidents. so, 60 pipelines evaluated by chemical exposure index and chlorine pipeline due to high hazard distances selected for relative risk analysis. the chlorine pipeline with 3468 meter length divided to 100 meter sections, and third party damage index (tpdi), ...

In the petroleum supply chain, oil refined products are often delivered to distribution centers by pipelines since they provide the most reliable and economical mode of transportation over large distances. This paper addresses the optimal scheduling of a complex pipeline network with multiple branching lines. The main challenge is to find the optimal sequence and time of product injections/deli...

In many new product development (NPD) situations, the development process is characterized by uncertainty, and no single development approach (e.g., a particular technological version) will necessarily lead to a successful product. In order to increase the likelihood of having at least one successful product at the end of the NPD process, managers may choose to fund simultaneously multiple appr...

Microbiologically influenced corrosion is responsible for most of the internal corrosion problems in oil transportation pipelines and storage tanks. One problematic area in treating gas lines is the occurrence of the stratification of water in the line. Under these conditions, corrosion inhibitors do not come into contact properly and oil and inhibitors undergo degradation. The role of bacteria...
