INTRODUCTION
Compared with other forms of transport, pipelines allow a more continuous, stable, and high-capacity supply of hydrocarbons to reach end-users. Pipeline transportation has the advantages of being well established, efficient, cost-effective, and readily expandable.
The products carried in liquid pipelines include a wide range of materials. Process fluid systems gather production from onshore and offshore fields, while transmission lines transport them to terminals, interconnection points, and refineries.
Materials selection plays an important role in piping systems. It is crucial to select a piping material that can cope with a variety of applications and damage mechanisms including corrosion, high/low temperatures, constant and cyclic loads, etc. Pipe inspection also plays an important role, making sure that optimal materials requirements are adhered to.
This EuroMaTech online training course will combine the various disciplines of pipeline engineering, including design, structural integrity, hydraulic considerations, materials types and selection, inspection and maintenance as well as the applications of relevant codes such as ASME B31.3 and API 570.
This seminar will highlight:
- Main aspects of pipeline design and manufacturing considerations
- Knowledge of the governing principles, related to materials testing
- Relevant structural integrity, pipe failure and corrosion principles
- Main Types of pipeline materials and selection
- Relevant pipe inspection and maintenance techniques
TRAINING OBJECTIVES
At the end of this seminar, the participants will,
- Develop deep understanding & familiarity basic principles of pipeline design for various industrial applications.
- Be familiar with the practical aspects of structural integrity, related to pipeline operation
- Have a knowledge of the various types structural and corrosion failure in relation to process pipes
- Have the necessary knowledge about pipeline materials and selection
- Understand aspects of pipe inspection and maintenance practices
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
- Process engineers
- Chemical engineers
- Mechanical and structural engineers
- Operation personnel
- Engineers and consultants dealing with planning of new production lines and retrofitting plants
TRAINING METHODOLOGY
The course will be conducted along workshop principles with formal lectures and interactive worked examples included in several workshops. The emphasis in the course will be on the explanation of all technical phenomena and providing answers to problems that are encountered in everyday industrial practice related to the design and materials selection of pipeline systems.
Each learning point will be reinforced with practical examples. Computer simulations and videos will be used to illustrate the main aspects of the course. Delegates will receive electronic versions of the course material together with relevant computer simulations and videos.
There will be ample opportunities for active discussion and sharing professional experiences and exchange that will help solidify the gained knowledge.
