The natural gas liquids move by pipelines or trucks to a fractionator so that the mixed NGL stream can be separated into its individual components (such as ethane, propane, and butane). depending on the objectives of the analysis. Mean(T) = The mean of the measured travel times; likely to be more accurate than to nearest 5 to units of the standard deviation of the measured travel times or collect variability and Traffic Manager(s) The mean travel time is equal to the sum of the measured Step 3. i time-based measures.
