maybe he install spark arrestor on the exhaust of the engine

maybe loh

Isekai liao

But bonus if he isekai with a backhoe in a medieval world he will be the tauke now

If the leak is downstream of flow meter, the flow won't change. If big leak, flow may even increase and the control valve will act to compensate.

If leak is upstream of flow meter, reading may momentarily drop but may be compensated by control valves movement.

That road crossing over the pipeline with backhoe moving back and fro , sure will cause stress to the underground pipe

You just answered your own question. It is a BILLION dollar industry. You don't shut down a billion dollar operation for every single little leak you find. Gas pipes powers the nation, if you shut down power supply for 1 week for every leak you find, you wont have power for the whole year.

Of course in an ideal world, all the pipes installed are perfectly manufactured, by competent workers, and it is perfectly checked by quality control and perfectly installed by highest paid workers with highest standard of safety and competence. I'm telling you, it is not.

Gas pipelines are not new, it is used because it works. It isnt perfect or maybe perfect pipes are just too expensive to install. Whatever the reason is, the industry can only pray their pipes don't rupture due to unforeseen circumstances. And will only replace pipes that are known to have their integrity suspect.

Practical within safe margin its ok. But i worked in oil and gas industry so if its up to me no way i will allow road above two meter buried main gas line. If its for single phase dead oil line or water injection/production line then its ok..

In iraq we even relocate houses within certain distance if we want to build new gas lines.

In this case the way i read it gas line came first. So its responsibility of pbt not to allow residential within certain distance from the area.

What ur profession? U in O&G Industry? Not mocking ya… just asking. If u are expert in this field then yeah i can share your explanation.

Yes, this is true.

However normally supplier and client have their own flowmeters, and also designated flow for each client.

So for instance in this case, client will experience sudden drop in pressure and flow, will attempt to compensate and will probably call the supplier to ask wtf going on.

Supplier will experience a sudden high flow and drop in pressure. Their own controls will compensate and reduce the flow and to build up pressure. They will check if any client is pulling too much.

At this point, if the bomba havent called them yet, they would have to quickly deduce that they might have a pipe burst somewhere and shut their valves and follow their emergency procedure.

However, this is only for large leaks relative to the normal flows. If they are only supplying 100kg/h, even a 10kg/h leak is considered big. If the suppliers are pushing 100t/h flows, 50kg/h leaks might not be noticeable and will be compensated by AUTO controls.

Yup, 50kg per hour loss is usually not detectable by operator.

Ini salah dap

Korek then boom days later is not something unusual. If a pipeline suffers cracks, they can get worse over time due to pressure and vibration from the flow.

Meanwhile, hydrocarbons leak out and accumulate. If it's LPG, it should explode earlier as LPG is heavier than air and will accumulate at low points (harder for wind to disperse). If gas, may take a while as it's lighter and doesn't accumulate as easily as lpg. All it needs is to reach above lower explosive limit and a source of ignition.

Arafo Isekai

Aired last season

Can't no pipul around this area during the explosion

Anyway good news

In the industry, but not an expert. Just average joe. My opinions are based on my experience, not 'expertise'.

gas leak do not play play , you cannot stand also 1km with gas burn if it happen again trust me, again this is serious issue national issue, imagine another gas burst or multiple like domino happen aa it gas, gas not like oil , thats reason malaysia use gas pipeline for fuel up our power station to generare us as modern country.

Palatao

Look at usj 3 entire stretch is all right next to the pipeline

Saw comment in FB, one of the residents there called up Petronas to report. The call center said nothing was shown up on thier screen. Let me if can find back the post

Why want to report.. Those fella just keep quiet, later can of worms will be spilt out

Gila mia developer, Main2 sama itu gas pipe
