Dewatering of 20 Mile Diesel Pipeline called for Frac Tanks, Centrifugal Pumps, Oil Water Separators and Secondary Containment Berms for a Turnkey Dewatering/Filtration System

After a brief meeting with the pipeline group at a chemical company in Freeport, TX, it was determined that they were in need of a solution to a problem that has existed for a few years. A 20 mile stretch of 6” pipeline that runs diesel feed stock to another facility had, over the years, developed leaks and water has seeped into the lines.

Their pipeline representative called Rain for Rent, Houston, to discuss what needed to be done to dewater the line and separate the diesel from the water. While our oil-water separator would be a perfect fix, we could also filter the water and the diesel so it would be easier to dispose of.

Impressed with Rain for Rent‘s equipment and knowledge, the system was proposed. We specified

(4) 21,000 gallon Frac tanks,(1) DV-100, (1) OWS-200, (1) PF-400, (1) 2” S/S diaphragm pump, (1) 3” S/S diaphragm pump and Spillguards and Spillguard bridges. This provided the customer with a complete turnkey solution.
