A system for injecting an injection fluid into a pipeline includes an injection
pump, a timer for initiating sequencing of the pump, a control valve for controlling
the flow of pressurized fluid to power the injection pump, a controller for controlling
operation of the control valve, and an electric motor responsive to the controller
for rotating a cam on the motor shaft to open and close the control valve. The
injected fluid may be methanol, so that the system automatically injects methanol
into a pipeline which transmits natural gas. In one embodiment, the system includes
a temperature sensor and a flow sensor for inputting signals to the controller.
