.... The potential to lower CAPEX (due to lower compression power requirement) and OPEX (due to lower fuel consumption) are counteracted by the extra cost of the internal coating. In this paper, a large diameter pipeline case study is used to evaluate the alternatives of (a) coating versus (b) not coating...

... ABSTRACT A study was performed to quantify the effectiveness of internal coatings in high pressure gas pipelines. The objective was to obtain data which would allow realistic pipeline simulations for evaluating the economics of internal flow efficiency coating use. The internal roughness...
