... dissociation in heated flow lines and studying the associated risks of local pressure build-up and plug run-away. A 6 " OD and 18 m long ETH-PiP prototype was manufactured and connected to the Lyre loop. It was equipped with sensors for accurately monitoring the dissociation process. A first experimental...
