 Sistem Perpipaan
 Sistem perpipaan adalah suatu jaringan perpipaan yang terdiri atas pipa dengan
penghubung-penghubung antar unit proses atau lokasi serta alat pengatur
perpipaan (fitting and valve)
Contoh
 Sistem perpipaan air dari sumber air (danau atau mata air) kepada pengguna
melalui pipa dan alat bantunya → KTI di cidanau hingga ke Waduk Krenceng
dan pengolahan hingga ke industri pengguna

 Sistem perpipaan gas alam dari gas ekplorasi menuju pengguna gas alam
(ribuan km) → PGN di Teratai hingga distribusi ke pengguna (KDL, CAP, dll)

 Sistem perpipaan steam (kukus) dari boiler menuju ke turbin pada temperatur
dan tekanan tinggi → IP UB Suralaya dari boiler hingga ke turbin dan kembali ke
boiler

 Sistem perpipaan pada rumah sakit untuk transportasi gas Oksigen → dari
tabung ke kamar-kamar 2
In any plant various fluids flow through
pipes from one end to other.
We have to transfer the content of Tank no.
1 to the other two tanks.
We will need to connect pipes to transfer the
fluids from Tank-1 to Tank-2 and Tank-3

 We have just brought the pipes, now
To solve these we need to solve some more
problems we need problems.

Pipes are all straight pieces.
components, which
are called
PIPE FITTINGS

We need some
branch
connections

We need some
bend connections

 ,
There are various types of fittings for
various purposes, some common types are -
Elbows/Bends, Tees/Branches,
Reducers/Expanders, Couplings, Olets, etc.

Anyway, the pipes and

fittings are in place, but
the ends are yet to be
joined with the Tank
nozzles.

We now have to complete the

end connections.
These, in piping term, we call

TERMINAL
CONNECTIONS. 5
 But if we want to control the flow from Tank-1 to
other tanks.

We need some arrangement to stop the

flow if needed

These are flanged

joints

This is a welded joint

To control the flow in a pipe line

we need to fit a special
component.

That is called - VALVE

6
There are many types of valves, categorized
based on their construction and
functionality,
Those are - Gate, Globe, Check, etc.

Other than valves another

important line component of pipe
line is a filter, which cleans out
derbies from the flowing fluid.
This is called a STRAINER

7
When some fluid is flowing in a pipe we
may also like know the parameters like,
pressure, temperature, flow rate etc. of
the fluid.

8
Here are some of the pipe supporting
arrangements. There can be numerous variants.
All depend on piping designer’s preference and
judgement.

Workshop
• In this example, a gas gathering system
located on varied terrain is simulated using
the steady state capabilities of Aspen
HYSYS. The following figure shows the
physical configuration of this system
superimposed on a topographic map. The
system consists of four wells distributed over
an area of approximately 2.0 square km,
connected to a gas plant via a network of
pipelines.

12
Learning Objectives
• Once you have completed this module,
you will be able to use the Pipe Segment in
Aspen HYSYS to model pipelines.

13
Description of the Problem
• There are 4 gas wells, we need to gather the gas from
the wells and transfer it to the plant through pipe lines
shown below:

Cont. . .
The composition of the four wells is the same:

Component Mole Fraction Component Mole Fraction

Methane 0.623 n-pentane 0.00405
Ethane 0.28 n-hexane 0.00659
Propane 0.0163 C7+ 0.00992
i-butane 0.00433 N2 0.00554
n-butane 0.00821 CO2 0.0225
i-pentane 0.00416 H2S 0.0154
C7+ : MW = 122, ρ = 47.45lb/ft3

The operating condition of the four wells is:

• The pipe segments data are given below :

17
• Schedule 40 steel pipes is used throughout
and all branches are buried at a depth of
1 m (3 ft).
• All pipes are uninsulated Consider inner
and outer HTC and the pipe wall in heat
transfer estimation. (Ambient
Temperature= 30oC)
• Calculate the pressure drop and the heat
loses inside each branch.

• After adding the pure components (C1, C2, C3, n-C4, i-C4,
n-C5, i-C5, C6, N2, CO2, H2S)
• we have to add the last component (C7+) which is not a
pure component as it represents all components above C7
including C7 in the feed.
• To define C7+ we have to create it as a hypothetical
component

23
4. Define C7+ as a hypothetical component
From the drop menu select Hypothetical instead of pure
components

24
• Select create and edit hypos

25
• Click a new hypo

26
• After adding a hypo component you can
edit the name, add the properties you
have, and estimate the unknown
properties as follows:

for the Pipe Segment. Each pipe section and fitting is labeled
as a segment. To fully define the pipe sections segments, you
must also specify pipe schedule, diameters, pipe material and
a number of increments.
