A multi-product pipeline transports a variety of liquid products through the same pipeline. Contamination of adjacent batches at the interface, batch tracking and delivery of the correct batch to it's destination are important considerations in the design of these pipelines. Proper instruments and control parameters should be used to control potential contamination between batches. The batch scheduling and operating philosophy should be developed carefully to maintain identity and specification limits of various product batches. The difference in the density as well as viscosity of different products should be considered in the hydraulic analysis. The hydraulic behavior of the pipeline will change as various batches move through the pipeline. Dynamic flow measurement systems based on the hydraulic behavior of the pipeline should account for the changes in the hydraulic behavior of the pipeline resulting from interface movement. The objective of this paper is to describe the design considerations for multi-products pipelines in sufficient detail to serve as a reference for the design of such pipelines.
