The Brine Measurement System (BRIMS). Section III. Operation and Maintenance Manual.
Abstract
A unique ocean measurement system that measures and analyzes highly saline brine pumped out from a salt dome, which is used for oil storage, has been developed and installed by the Naval Ocean Research and Development Activity (NORDA) under Department of Energy and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration sponsorship. Called the Brine Measurement System or BRIMS, the system monitors the dispersion of brine in the sea as it is evacuated from the Bryan Mound salt dome near Freeport, Texas, through a three-foot-diameter pipeline extending 12.5 miles offshore. BRIMS has been designed to be a remote multi-sensor ocean measurement system that can provide real time data from a variety of bottom-laid and above-water sensors. This paper addresses the operations and maintenance requirements necessary to the continuing utilization of the BRIMS. (Author)
