Emptying pipelines can be a complex task. While existing methods remove most of the liquid a
frustrating gap often remains - residual fluid trapped in dips or bends. This gap analysis
tackles this challenge.By analyzing pipeline geometry and the properties of the fluid
engineers pinpoint these problematic zones. Advanced modeling techniques simulate the flow
dynamics pinpointing areas where residual fluid concentrates.This analysis equips engineers to
bridge the emptying gap. They can adjust procedures like using pumps or compressed air for
targeted expulsion from identified zones. Additionally pipeline design itself can be improved
incorporating features that minimize residual pockets during future emptying.Gap analysis
empowers engineers to optimize pipeline emptying saving time resources and minimizing the
risk of contamination from leftover fluid
