TRANSPORTATION OF DEMINERALIZED WATER: CASE STUDY

A study is reported that investigated the actual parameter for the cement-mortar lining of the type being used for the Jubail-Riyadh pipeline when new and after carrying demineralized water for about 4 years. The surface condition of the cement-mortar lining of the pipeline in its new state and after operating 4 years under demineralized water flow was investigated, as well as whether it is possible to safely carry demineralized water through the pipeline at 20 mg/l dissolved solid concentration with no adverse effects on the system. The equivalent sand grain roughness of the cement-mortar lining of the type used in the Jubail-Riyadh pipelines was found from model testing in the laboratory to be about 0.04mm. There was no significant change of this value during the 7-month testing in the laboratory. This and other findings are discussed.
