II. Прочитайте и переведите текст:

 

Pipeline networks are composed of several pieces of equipment that operate together to move products from location to location. The main elements of a pipeline system are:

 

- Initial Injection Station - Known also as Supply or Inlet station, is thebeginning of the system, where the product is injected into the line. Storage facilities, pumps or compressors are usually located at these locations.

 

- Compressor/Pump Stations - Pumps for liquid pipelines andCompressors for gas pipelines are located along the line to move the product through the pipeline. The location of these stations is defined by the topography of the terrain, the type of product being transported, or operational conditions of the network.

 

- Partial Delivery Station - Known also as Intermediate Stations, thesefacilities allow the pipeline operator to deliver part of the product being transported.

 

- Block Valve Station - These are the first line of protection for pipelines.With these valves the operator can isolate any segment of the line for

maintenance work or isolate a rupture or leak. Block valve stations are usually located every 20 km, depending on the type of pipeline. Even though it is not a design rule, it is a very usual practice in liquid pipelines. The location of these stations depends exclusively on the nature of the product being transported, the trajectory of the pipeline and/or the operational conditions of the line.

 

- Regulator Station - This is a special type of valve station, where theoperator can release some of the pressure from the line. Regulators are usually located at the downhill side of a peak.

 

- Final Delivery Station - Known also as Outlet stations or Terminals, thisis where the product will be distributed to the consumer. It could be a tank terminal for liquid pipelines or a connection to a distribution network for gas pipelines.
