      <title>NEW DEMANDS FOR PIPELINE SHAPING SCADA SYSTEMS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/482138</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Development of functions in a supervisory control and data acquisition (scada) system is driven by requirements of the pipeline market. In the U.S. operating world following Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Order 636 (1992), operating a pipeline has radically changed, with pipeline companies becoming transporters of natural gas rather than buyers and sellers of gas. The business cycle has decreased from monthly to daily and is now quickly moving to "within-day." These developments necessitate changes in how the pipeline is run as well as in how operations departments interact with other business units. The result is the need for more functions and enhanced performance from the primary source for pipeline information, the scada system.]]></description>

      <title>SAN FRANCISCO CSO</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/452911</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Design and construction of the Islais Creek transport/storage facility is highlighted in this article, which explains the current problems in San Francisco's combined-sewer-overflow (CSO) system.  Light rains, particularly in the Islais Creek Basin area, send untreated sewage and storm water into the bay and Pacific Ocean because of limited capacity.  San Francisco is solving the problem with a 1,448-km (900-mi) long CSO control system that will consist of a series of underground reinforced concrete box sewers, tunnels, pipes, and pumping stations to store the combined sewage until it can be pumped to a treatment plant.  Full-face tunnel excavation will require extensive jet grouting, which is described in detail.]]></description>

      <title>A TEXAS-SIZED SSO SOLUTION</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/452887</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In 1987, the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission and the Environmental Protection Agency mandated the city of Houston to upgrade its wastewater collection system.  Consequently, the Greater Houston Wastewater Program was formed and a $1.2 billion plan was developed to revamp Houston's wastewater collection system.  Houston's wastewater system is one of the nation's largest, making rehabilitation a massive undertaking.  The impetus for rehabilitation was chronic overflows in the system during wet weather, which resulted in sanitary-sewer overflow. This article describes the three-phased relief strategy, the construction of a new detainment system, and a planning strategy to address problems in 47 separate service areas.]]></description>

      <title>DEVELOPMENT OF BACKSCATTERING SENSOR FOR GAS DISTRIBUTION PIPES. FINAL REPORT, NOVEMBER 1990-SEPTEMBER 1992</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/405834</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A breadboard gamma backscattering sensor for measuring the wall thickness of gas distribution pipes has been developed.  The sensor was originally intended to be mounted on an internal inspection system separately developed for GRI.  Two prototypes of the sensor, and a computer controlled miniaturized electronic board, were constructed and tested.  The first prototype was a low resolution sensor intended to obtain information averaged over a relatively large area of the pipe surface.  The second prototype allows more detailed scans, at a sacrifice in speed. Both sensors were intended to provide information on the wall thickness of gas distribution pipes 4 to 6 inches in diameter.]]></description>

      <title>ALASKAN TRANSPORTATION: AN OVERVIEW OF SOME ASPECTS OF TRANSPORTING ALASKAN CRUDE OIL</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/91590</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This paper briefly explores the transportation-related aspects of the design, construction, and operation of the pipeline and support facilities.  The pipeline terminates at Port Valdez on Prince William Sound.  It is from here that the second leg of the journey to the energy-hungry lower 48 states begins.  A thoroughly modern and unique marine transportation system is being utilized to transport approximately 1.2 million barrels (191,000 cu m) per day of Alaskan crude oil to West and Gulf coast refineries.  The Valdez Terminal, the pipeline, the North Slope supply, and vessel particulars and operations are discussed; in addition, environmental and legal problems are outlined.]]></description>

      <title>ANALYSIS OF THE PROPOSED LNG TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM FOR NORTHERN ALASKAN NATURAL GAS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/64999</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Delivery of the gas directly to nationwide markets by a pipeline transmission system has been proposed by a consortium of U.S. and Canadian companies.  The Alaskan segment of the system would be built and operated by Alaskan Arctic Gas Pipeline Company (Alaskan Arctic).  An alternate mode of delivery has been proposed by El Paso Alaska Company (El Paso) and this overall transportation scheme is described.  The gas would be transported by pipeline to the Aouth Coast of Alaska where it would be liquefied.  The liquefied natural gas (LNG) would be shipped to the U.S. West Coast in large LNG carriers where it would be regasified and distributed by pipeline to western markets. Distribution to midwestern and eastern markets would be accomplished by gas exchange.  The analysis has been directed to four principal areas; namely, transportation cost, fuel consumption, reliability, and timing. Submissions field with the Federal Power Commission (FPC) have served as the basis for the analysis.]]></description>

      <title>DRY BULK CARGOES BY PIPELINE. MARCONA'S UNIQUE SLURRY TANKER</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2599</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The 51,046 dwt Marconaflo Merchant can lift slurry cargo utilizing four of her five centerline holds, in addition to carrying crude oil or dry ore cargoes up to her maximum deadweight tonnage capacity.  In loading, a slurry of ore granules and water with a density of about 75 percent solids is pumped from shore into the special, double-bottom holds. These solids settle out and build up as a cake on the bottom, and the water that brought them in is decanted off. Upon arrival at destination, the ore can be removed from the holds with ordinary grabs, or it can be reslurrified and pumped off into a holding pond.  Reliquifying the cargo is done by means of high pressure jets.  Details are given for slurry handling procedures and equipment.]]></description>
