I agree the shutoff valve where there is a U turn is key. While 3 days is a lot for just 1 AOT, there seems to me that they don't need to do this for each AOT, they could install the shut off valves at once and for all at all stations. Therefore the TOTAL downtime for all AOTs on the pipeline, would be 3 days. If the AOTs increase the flow by 10% (from 730,000 Barrels/day to 800,000 barrels/days), you would just need 30 days (3 days /10%) for the marginal increase of flow due to viscosity reduction to make up for the downtime. Very viable, Nothing to be scared of.
