Located in the southwest of IRAN, the Iran Gas Trunkline-5
(IGAT-5) with 504 kilometers in length and 56 inches in diameter
is the longest sour gas pipeline among those developed in
world so-far. Sour gas is more dangerous than sweet gas
because of its hydrogen sulfide contents, so it require more
safety considerations. The safety aspects of long pipelines for
transportation of sour gas have been always of concern because
of the potential populated area, high pressure and presence of
toxic compounds of pipelines. Environmental harm, neighborhood
destruction, serious injury and death. As a result, pipeline safety
regulations have been stablished that govern how the pipeline
industry designs, builds, operates, and maintains pipelines. Sour
gas pipelines pigging operation is a highly risk work. The pipeline
pigs may be stuck, lead to leakage accident, and even lead to
fire and explosive hazard. This pipeline with the containment
of approximately 6000 ppm hydrogen sulfid in the most unique
sour gas pipeline in the world. In order of operation improvement
and precision maintenance it must consistently follow the safety
rules and regulations. This study examines a set of safety rules
and environmental measures that have brought about the optimal
performance of the pipelines, and we express what measures
we have functionally taken and put into place since the start of
the operation of this pipeline(2008). We are pleased to announce
that so far there has not been any harmful or any disastrous
occurrence in terms of safety and environmental performance.
