Commissioning of
New Pipelines

Commissioning is to bring the constructed / installed
system to deliver the desired function.
Pipeline commissioning means introducing crude/
product/Gas in the pipeline from originating station, filling
the entire length and then start delivering to the planned
receipt system.
In case of crude pipeline, there may be intermediate
storage stations for operational requirement but ultimate
supply is to be made to a refinery
In case of product pipeline/Gas pipeline, there may be
several intermediate delivery stations before
terminal/dispatch station.

16
Preparation of commissioning manual
A document describing the procedure to be followed for
commissioning is to be prepared by experienced persons
The purpose of making the document is to set forth the
objectives of commissioning of pipeline system and to
establish guidelines for safe commissioning in order to
achieve the required goals.
Pre-commissioning check list
A check list is prepared, which covers the technical, safety
as well as statutory requirement before the pipeline and
associated facilities is declared ready for commissioning.

Constituting a pre-commissioning team:
A committee of experienced engineers is constituted to
audit the construction as per pre-commissioning check list
and report to the management regarding readiness of the
system or any shortcomings to be complied before
commissioning.
Procurement of consumable/tools/pigs etc:
As mentioned in the Commissioning Manual, required
consumables, tools, pigs, spares and safety equipments
are to be made available prior to commissioning.
Availability of product/ crude:
As per line fill calculation, the availability of crude oil or the
product, as the case may be, is to be ensured at originating
/ pumping station in coordination with Refinery and
Marketing.

Pipeline sections are generally commissioned in phased
manner / in totality based on the situation and
preparedness.

After hydro-testing and caliper pigging it is expected that
the sections are in a fairly clean condition.

Constituting a commissioning team:
A committee of experienced engineers is constituted to
perform the objective of commissioning.

Scrutiny of audited pre-commissioning check list:
The committee to ensure the compliance of any
shortcomings reported in the pre-commissioning check list.
Identification and deployment of manpower at new
stations
Deployment of security personnel at stations
Arrangement of water and disposal plan
Commissioning action plan

Pressurization of pipeline section with compressed air up
to 3-5 Kg/sq cm.
Injection of about 500 to 1000 KL water into the section
from launching barrel end
Launching of cleaning (bi-di) pig after introduction of water
in the line
Maintaining 5-10 kg/sq.Cm back pressure at other end by
venting the air
Introducing about 1000 to 3000 KL of water behind the
cleaning pig
Launching batching (bi-di) pig
Commissioning steps

Introducing HSD / Crude in the line and maintaining 5 to 10
Kg/sq.cm back pressure at other end.
Draining dirty water to storm water drain / pre-fixed drain
outlet at the receiving end
Receiving cleaning pig
Again draining dirty water to storm water drain
Receiving batching pig
Lining up marketing HSD receipt tank /Refinery or Pipeline
crude receipt tank
Flow to be diverted to HSD / Crude receipt tank as soon as
oil traces are observed. Temporary facility for water
draining to be dismantled & permanent blinding put

Since, before pumping water, line is filled with air at a pre-
determined pressure, so monitoring and air draining facility
is kept ready at receiving end to maintain back pressure of
air at 5 to 10 Kg/sq.cm
Pumping into an empty line will cause excessive flow rate &
current in the motors resulting in frequent tripping. May
result in increase of interface length.
As the pig reaches at receiving end, it is taken out. The
muck & dirt quantity is collected and after analysis it is
disposed off.
Handing over the system to operating group
