Re: Amount of piping

Manoj:

Please define "line". I may be missing something, but I can imagine multiple definitions. A line could be the route between a tank and a reactor, including pump and installed backup pump, flowmeters, control valves, manual bypasses around the control valves, etc. Or it could be the pipes between each of the above. If the latter is used as the definition, 2500 is rather easy to have. If the former, it must be a very complex process!
