Hello dear colleagues,
The scenario is unloading of LPG from a cargo vessel(ship?)to several LPG Storage Tanks (bullets)at a distance of approx. 4,000meters.
- do we need a reheater and booster pump?
- do we need an Ethyl Mercaptan Injector?
- do we need a mixing tank?

Many thanks indeed.

Do you need a reheater? I can't see why you would from the ship to the bullets.

Do you need a booster pump? How the heck would anyone know? Does the pipeline go 4000 m up a mountainside? How big is the pipe?

Do you need a mercaptan injector? How the heck would anyone know? Is the LPG used for fuel? Is it for petrochemical feedstock?

Do we need a mixing tank? How the heck would anyone know? Mixing what? Mercaptan? Flour and baking soda?
