The procedure for drying a pipeline after hydrostatic testing involves pushing a slug of methanol or glycol through the line between two pigs or spheres. Factors to consider in optimizing this procedure include the (1) initial and final methanol concentrations, (2) thickness of methanol film left by the slug, and (3) pipe length. Mathematical equations relating these factors aid in sizing the slug in terms of volume and concentration.
