Air lock problems often occur when one is trying to recommission a system after it has been deliberately (for servicing) or accidentally emptied. Take, for example, a central heating system using a circulating pump to pump water through radiators. When filling such a system, air is trapped in the radiators. This air has to be vented using screw ...
2010: Dalian Pipeline disaster – The explosion of two petroleum pipelines and subsequent fire in the port of Dalian, in northern China's Liaoning province on Saturday, on July 17, 2010, caused fatalities, damages and an ecological disaster, releasing 11,000 barrels of oil into the Yellow Sea, and covering up, according to different sources, from 50 to 430 km 2 of sea and coast lines.

Work in that area of the pipeline should take another week or two to complete, Ames said. The Quemahoning Reservoir and pipeline were built in the early 1900s to provide industrial water for the ...
The pipeline at the rupture point was estimated to carry around 10,000 barrels of gasoline at 2 megapascals (290 psi). [25] The exact cause of the fire that ignited the spill is not yet known. [ 19 ] Investigators' first hypothesis was that the gases produced by the leak and the electricity sparks caused by the friction of people's synthetic ...
January 18 – An Enbridge pipeline failed from temperature problems, causing a spill of 100 barrels of crude oil in Bay City, Michigan. The pipe was just two years old at the time. [103] [140] January 26 – A Mid Valley 22-inch pipeline ruptured in Carrollton, Kentucky, spilling about 290,000 gallons of crude oil.
This map should help the gas utility to prioritize leak repairs, as well as raising public awareness of the problem. [9] In 2017, Rhode Island released an estimated 15.7 million metric tons of greenhouse gases, about a third of which comes from leaks in natural gas pipes.
According to engineers, possible methods for the repair of the pipeline would include full-scale replacement of pipe segments and clamping of damaged sections. If carried out, repairs would be expected to last several months. [187] In February 2023, The Times reported that Russia had begun estimating repair costs, put at about $500 million. [130]
