DSC 2.0 Gas Flow Savings Calculator

Estimate the Value of Maintaining Gas Flow During Your Pipeline Run

Reducing gas flow to control the speed of a cleaning pig or inline inspection tool can affect throughput and operational revenue. Enduro’s DSC 2.0 is designed to regulate tool velocity in high-flow gas pipelines without requiring operators to reduce normal flow for the run.

Use this calculator to estimate the volume of gas that could remain in normal transportation—and its potential value—when DSC 2.0 is used instead of reducing flow.

Results are estimates for preliminary planning only.

How much could maintaining normal gas flow save during your next cleaning or inline inspection run? Enter your operating information below to estimate the potential value.

DSC 2.0 Gas Flow Savings Calculator

Compare normal operating flow with the reduced flow that may otherwise be required during a cleaning or inline inspection run.

Enter your pipeline’s operating information to estimate:

• Gas volume affected by a temporary flow reduction
• Estimated value of that gas
• Potential throughput maintained using DSC 2.
• Estimated operational savings for the run
• 

Maintain Throughput While Controlling Tool Speed

High-resolution inline inspection tools must travel within a controlled speed range to collect reliable data. In high-flow gas pipelines, operators may traditionally reduce flow to slow the tool—but that reduction can come at a high operational cost.

Enduro’s Dynamic Speed Control 2.0 helps manage cleaning pig and ILI tool velocity while allowing the pipeline to continue operating at its normal flow rate.

DSC 2.0 is designed to support:

• Controlled cleaning speeds of approximately 2–5 mph
• Controlled ILI speeds of approximately 3–6 mph
• Fewer excessive-speed events
• More consistent inspection conditions
• Improved cleaning and inspection performance
• Reduced need for operational flow reductions

What Could a Flow Reduction Cost?

Even a temporary decrease in gas flow can represent a substantial volume of product that is not transported during the run. The total impact depends on several factors, including:

• Normal pipeline flow rate
• Required flow reduction
• Duration of the cleaning or inspection run
• Current value of the transported gas
• Pipeline operating conditions

This calculator provides a quick estimate of that potential impact and helps operators evaluate the financial benefit of using speed-control technology.

More Than Gas Flow Savings

Maintaining throughput is only one potential benefit of DSC 2.0. More consistent tool speed can also help improve the overall success of the run.

Potential benefits include:

• Maintaining normal pipeline throughput
• Improving inline inspection data consistency
• Supporting more effective cleaning performance
• Reducing the risk of excessive tool acceleration
• Limiting inspection delays and repeat runs
• Reducing the operational disruption associated with lowering flow

Built for High-Flow Gas Pipelines

DSC 2.0 is a compact, stand-alone speed-control solution engineered for pipelines where reducing flow is costly, difficult, or simply not an option.

The unit uses variable bypass technology to respond to changing operating conditions and help maintain the appropriate tool velocity. It can be integrated with Enduro cleaning pigs and inline inspection tools to support the specific objectives of the run.

Every pipeline and operating condition is different. The calculator provides an initial estimate, but Enduro’s pipeline specialists can review your actual flow conditions, line configuration, run length, and inspection requirements.
