Since pipelines transport liquids, how do they keep the various liquids from mixing together? What happens in they do mix?
The pipeline companies are able to separate different type of commodities going through a pipeline. If the commodities going through the line are different grades of crude oil, or if there are different types of commodities going through the line at the same time the batches are separated by a rubber ball, called a batching pig.
Additionally the companies plan the movement of commodities through the pipeline such that if there is any mixing it is both limited and it is a mix between a lower grade product and a small amount of higher grade product, in that event the mixing has no negative effect. Usually products are scheduled one month in advance with kerosene moving first, then high-grade gasoline, then medium-grade gasoline, then various offer produces, with home heating oil last. In addition, before operations commence where different commodities are sent through the pipeline the pipeline is typically cleaned. When commodities that are not very similar are sent through the pipeline the pipeline is cleaned to prevent any contamination.
