    Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods of in-line mixing of hydrocarbon liquids from a plurality of tanks into a single pipeline. According to an embodiment, a method of admixing hydrocarbon liquids from a plurality of tanks into a single pipeline to provide in-line mixing thereof includes determining a ratio of a second fluid flow to a first fluid flow based on signals received from a tank flow meter in fluid communication with the second fluid flow and a booster flow meter in fluid communication with a blended fluid flow. The blended fluid flow includes a blended flow of the first fluid flow and the second fluid flow. The method further includes comparing the determined ratio to a pre-selected set point ratio thereby to determine a modified flow of the second fluid flow to drive the ratio toward the pre-selected set point ratio. The method further includes controlling a variable speed drive connected to a pump thereby to control the second fluid flow through the pump based on the determined modified flow, the pump being in fluid communication with the second fluid flow.

    Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods to determine depth of soil coverage for an underground feature along a right-of-way are disclosed. In an embodiment, the method may include receiving a depth of cover measurement for the right-of-way. The method may include capturing baseline images of the right-of-way within a first selected time of the depth of cover measurement. The method may include rendering a three dimensional elevation model of the right-of-way from the baseline images. The method may include georeferencing the three dimensional elevation model to generate a georeferenced three dimensional elevation model. The method may include adding the depth of cover measurement to the georeferenced three dimensional elevation model. The method may include rendering an updated three dimensional elevation model of the right-of-way from subsequently captured images. The method may include determining a delta depth of coverage based on the georeferenced and the updated three dimensional elevation model.

    Abstract: The disclosure includes embodiments of systems, methods, and a kit to monitor remotely operational conditions of a pump engine and a pump mounted on a marine barge during offloading operation of barge petroleum product contents. According to an embodiment, a marine barge monitoring system may include a housing connected to the marine barge in a position to monitor the pump engine and the pump and having an electronic assembly positioned in the housing. The marine barge monitoring system also may include one or more sensors communicatively connected to the relay control module via the input/output module; a status monitoring and communication device communicatively connected to the relay control module; a warning indicator connected to the electronic assembly; and one or more remotely positioned monitoring servers having a memory positioned remote from the marine barge and in communication with the status monitoring and communication device.

    Abstract: Systems and methods herein provide retractable and extendable portable ignitors, ignitor systems, and associated methods for lighting industrial fired equipment. In an embodiment, an ignitor includes a main body including a first body portion movable in a longitudinal direction relative to a second body portion so as to extend or retract to a target operating length, thereby to define an adjustable main body. The ignitor includes a flow path extending through the adjustable main body, a fluid outlet, and a fluid inlet. The fluid inlet is configured to receive and direct a fuel flow through the flow path and to the fluid outlet. The ignitor includes a sparking assembly connected to the adjustable main body proximate the fluid outlet to provide an ignition spark to the fuel flow when passing through the flow path, thereby to facilitate lighting industrial fired equipment via a fueled flame maintained proximate the fluid outlet.

    Abstract: An example test station assembly of a cathodic protection monitoring assembly includes a face plate including a plurality of openings. In addition, the test station assembly includes a plurality of test posts to pass through the plurality of openings. Further, the test station assembly includes a plurality of electrically non-conductive identification indicators to connect to the plurality of test posts on the face plate. Each of the plurality of identification indicators including one or more identifying characteristics to identify a corresponding voltage source of a plurality of underground voltage sources associated with an at least partially buried structure, a cathodic protection system for the buried structure, or the cathodic protection monitoring assembly. Still further, the test station assembly includes a plurality of electrical conductors to electrically connect the plurality of test posts to the plurality of underground voltage sources.

    Abstract: Methods and systems of operating a pump at an efficiency point during an in-line blending operation. In an embodiment, such a method may include transporting a fluid from a tank to a pump through a first pipe. The method may include discharging, via the pump, the fluid at a specified flow rate through a second pipe. The method may include measuring a flow rate of the first portion of the fluid flowing from the main control valve through the mixing pipe. The method may include measuring a flow rate of the second portion of the fluid flowing through the spillback loop. The method may include determining a current pump efficiency point and operating the pump within a range of percentages of the best efficiency point.
