Abstract
A system for pumping lubricant in a gas transportation pipeline includes a pipeline robot and a control terminal system. The pipeline robot includes a lubricant position detection, module, a lubricant pumping module, an electro-hydraulic control system, a data acquisition and processing system, and a lubricant sucking port. The location at which the lubricant deposits can be detected online, and the lubricant staving in the gas transportation pipeline can be removed in real time. The system is highly automatic and efficient. Resistance against the natural as transportation is reduced effectively, the efficiency of transporting the natural gas is improved, and safety of transporting the natural gas is ensured.
