One word or two? Some words are made by combining two short words which each has only one sound (monosyllables). It is a common mistake to write them using two words instead of one.
S bedroom, bathroom, goodnight, online.
X bed room, bath room, good night, on line.
Very. You cannot use “very” together with an adjective which already has the idea of being “very” something. Examples of these kinds of adjectives are: “delicious” means “very tasty”, enormous means “very big”, “lovely” means “very nice”, “great” means “very good”.

Modern long-distance pipelines are operated mainly automatically by a computer at the headquarters of the pipeline company. The computer monitors the pressure, flow rates, and other parameters at various locations along the pipe, performs many on-line computations, and sends commands to the field to control the operation of the valves and pumps. Manual intervention is frequently needed to modify the automatic operation, as when different batches of fuels are directed to different temporary storage tanks, or when the system must be shut down or restarted.
When a pipeline is built, the construction project not only covers the civil work to lay the pipeline and build the pump/ compressor stations, it also has to cover all the work related to the installation of the field devices that will support remote operation.
Field devices are instrumentation, data gathering units and communication systems. The field instrumentation includes flow, pressure and temperature gauges/transmitters, and other devices to measure the relevant data required. These instruments are installed along the pipeline on some specific locations, such as injection or delivery stations, pump stations (liquid pipelines) or compressor stations (gas pipelines), and block valve stations.
The information measured by these field instruments is then gathered in local Remote Terminal Units (RTU) that transfer the field data to a central location in real time using communication systems, such as satellite channels, microwave links, or cellular phone connections.
