Application of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy in Pipeline Transportation of Refined Petroleum Products
摘要
At present, pipeline transportation at home and abroad has replaced or is replacing railway and road transportation, becoming main tool for refined petroleum products transportation. Pipeline transportation uses a pipeline to transport different types of refined petroleum products in batches, alternating or sequentially, which can alternately transport different refined petroleum products, such as gasoline, kerosene, and diesel. As an advanced transportation method, pipeline transportation of refined petroleum products not only reduces environmental pollution, alleviates transportation pressure, and improves transportation safety but also has transportation advantages that cannot be compared to other methods, such as railways, highways, and waterways. For example, pipeline transportation has low oil loss, only 0.5%, and the railway transportation loss rate is twice as high. Moreover, pipeline transportation costs are significantly lower than railway transportation. According to relevant calculations, pipeline transportation saves 45.7% compared to railway transportation. Refined petroleum products can be directly transported from the production area to the consumption area, greatly reducing transportation costs. Compared to railways, pipeline transportation can save 40% of energy consumption, half of manpower [1].
