Backgroud of Particular
Task
NDC blow down pit is a pit of waste water from
co-generator. In blow down pit usually used portable
pumps, pipelines and hose to transport the waste
water to a waste water injection tank to be injected
into the injection well. Beside that, there is a pump
that is not used, so it can be used as a permanent
pump for transporting of waste water. The purpose
of this particular task to design the pipeline used
permanently, which is to study and design a
transport pipe for distribution of NDC Blow down Pit.

Conclusion
1. The processing in the gas boot due to decreased pressure
so that oil and gas will be separated.
2. Process in the FWKO tank and Wash tank there is a
separation based on differences in density.
3. The process in the ORF there is a filtration media that is
pecan-walnut and garnet-anthracit, while the filtration
media that we learned in college is using sand and clay.
4. Pipe Size is selected as the transportation of NDC Blow
down Pit to the Waste Water Storage Tank is 3 , with the
schedule Number 40 and the pipe thickness 0.216".
Pressure drop obtained at 1 psi / 100 ft and a velocity of
3.1 ft / s.
