Types of Pipelines

Within the energy sector, there are two main types of pipelines. Liquid pipelines transport crude oil, liquefied natural gas, and distilled petroleum to refineries and distribution centers. Natural gas pipelines are used solely for the transportation of natural gas to processing plants, distribution centers, and buildings for end-use.

In addition, there are four subcategories of pipelines used for different purposes:

  • Gathering lines range from 10 to 30 cm in diameter and transport fuel over short distances, such as from wells into trucks for transport.
  • Feeder lines move fuel from storage tanks and processing facilities to transmission pipelines.
  • Transmission pipelines range from 10 cm to over a meter in diameter and transport fuel over long distances, sometimes crossing international borders.
  • Distribution pipelines range from 1 to 15 cm and are used to deliver natural gas to homes and businesses.

Environmental Concerns of Constructing and Operating Pipelines

While pipelines are necessary for transporting petroleum products, several environmental concerns exist with regards to their construction and operation. These include:

  • Reduced air quality, soil erosion, and noise pollution caused by pipeline construction equipment
  • Soil contamination and loss of plant life resulting from pipeline leaks
  • Water resource disturbances, including changes in water flows, and reduced water quantity/quality

Pipeline companies can take numerous steps to minimize the environmental impact of their projects, including using products from Hydro Blind Solutions to help prevent leaks and spills. By isolating parts of the piping with blind flanges, paddle blinds, spectacle blinds, and vented paddle blinds, it’s possible to test for leaks and make repairs more easily.
