Abstract

The optimal scheduling system of multi product pipelines is benefited to improve the economy and safety transportation. This paper addresses how to optimize detailed schedules of a multi-product pipeline. The study covers multi fluid pipeline by national pipeline company which is 130 Km. We concern with batching of (Gas oil, Jet fuel, Naphtha, Gasoline 80, Gasoline 95) and here comes the problem of contamination of one fluid with another which is leading fluid. This study estimates the volume of mixing zone for each interface by equation of Austin J.E and palfrey J.R, determines contaminated volume cost and storage volume needed for each cycle and assures that transportation is within flat zone and yield minimum value of interface volume providing the optimum multi-product pipeline scheduling.
