Please excuse my ignorance. I work for a Natural gas company and have an issue that needs addressed. When gas comes out of the ground it goes into a piece of equipment that separates the water from the gas. The gas goes into a pipeline and the water is dumped into a tank. We are currently trying to figure out which application would have less resistance. So the question is would it require more pressure to inject the water into the bottom of a 12ft wide tank with 12ft of water in it, or to run a 3inch pipe up the side of the 20ft tank and dump the water in at the top. One person claims that the hydrostatic pressure will be higher in the 20ft 3inch section of pipe when full of water vs the 12ft wide tank with 10 ft of water. I don't know enough about this but I figure there are multiple measures of pressure/resistance involved so figured I would ask someone smarter than myself. Thanks
