Terms of cleaning the Druzhba pipeline from dirty oil are named

1
Transneft has embarked on a large-scale complex of measures aimed at cleaning the Druzhba pipeline system from contaminated oil that has got there.



Transneft Vice President Sergei Andronov in an interview with the publication Kommersant told what specific measures are provided for by the road map, and in what time frame they will be implemented.

According to him, the total volume of oil contaminated with chlorine compounds amounted to about 3 million tons, and it will take six to eight months to clean the pipeline.

Contaminated oil, which will be returned to Russia from a number of countries, will be placed in the free tanks of the tank farms of Transneft subsidiaries.

The Road Map stipulates that in Poland contaminated oil in reserve tanks will be diluted clean to the condition that will allow it to be processed at Polish refineries.

Pure oil will be delivered by sea through the port of Gdansk and through the Druzhba pipeline.

Also, Andronov said that the issue of compensation was worked out and agreed with the Ministry of Energy. Almost all Russian shippers agreed with the option that Transneft proposed. For those who do not agree with the proposed conditions, there will be only one way - through litigation.

    - Yes, even a metal barrel (in the country house) is very problematic to clear (even make a fire in it) of any oil products ... -and here is a whole pipeline system ...

    - Personally, I have already written more than once about the vulnerability of pipelines (even gas, oil) ...- thousands of km of laid large-diameter pipes in different climatic zones ...- in swamps, in sands, in the mountains, along the bottom of the sea. - Do what you want with mimi ... - drill; make cuts; attach or glue some corroding metal composition .; Pass an electric discharge, causing a short circuit, causing an explosion or fire; mechanically destroy or explode the pipe body ... and so on ... and so on ...
    -And now it’s still added ... pollution of the product supplied through these pipes ...
    -In short ... -the pipeline is a pipeline ... -And such contamination (intentional or not) can become a permanent phenomenon ... like falling Russian planes ... -And this pipeline will become "golden" ... -Protect it meaningless ... -No one has guarded our borders for a long time ... -and here ... -thousand km of pipes (and even outside the territory of Russia) ... -And how much does it all cost today and even further, how much will you have to spend on such troubles ..?
