TDA-RCA CAPSULE PIPELINE PROJECT. CAPSULE PIPELINE SYSTEM ANALYSIS. PART 2. CAPSULE PIPELINE TECHNO-ECONOMIC SIMULATION MODEL

This report establishes a computer simulation model to provide a total economic evaluation of any potential pipeline application before development work is commissioned. It identifies all the parameters and variables peculiar to capsule pipelining and reduces them to economic terms. The model can optimize systems under consideration and makes it possible to assess the potential of capsule pipelining in more realistic terms than has previously been possible.
