Modern long-distance pipelines mainly

automatically by a computer at the headquarters of the

pipeline company. The computer the pressure^

flow rates, and other parameters at various locations along the

pipe, many on-line computations, and

commands to the field to control the

operation of the valves and pumps. Manual intervention is

frequently to modify the automatic operation,

as when different batches of fuels to

different temporary storage tanks, or when the system must be down or restarted.
