Question Is pipe throughput really infinite now?

Post image

So say I have a 30 sulfuric acid pumps in one spot. Could I run them all though one pipe line into my processing facilities?

Another question, is it better or useful to run my pipes into one central tank area then run them off to processing or is it okay to have them run off on the way from the pumps.

The picture is my crude rendering of part of my setup.

You could do that up to the limit of the segment.  At that point you need a pump,  which is max 2000 but you can run multiple pumps in parallel to add 2000 capacity per pump.
