A fully interactive course on hydraulics of pipelines transporting liquids, such as water and petroleum products. Covers steady state pipeline hydraulics as applied to long distance pipelines and short pipe segments within a plant, including pressure drop calculations, pumping power required and centrifugal pump analysis.
It is useful for design engineers, plant engineers, project engineers, planning and business development engineers in an organization that designs, constructs or operates pipelines.
With several thousand miles of existing pipelines and proposed construction of many thousand miles of pipelines in the US and other countries, the optimum selection and utilization of these facilities require knowledge of pipeline capabilities and expansion requirements to ensure maximum return on invested capital. This requires a thorough understanding of pipe sizing, flow velocities, hydraulic pressure drop, use of drag reduction agents and pump selection for ensuring proper equipment sizing to reduce initial capital cost and annual operating expenditures.
This live group seminar is eligible for 13.0 CPE credits. Be aware that state boards of accountancy have final authority on the acceptance of individual courses for CPE credit. As of January 1, 2002, sponsored learning activities are measured by program length, with one 50-minute period equal to one CPE credit. One-half CPE credit increments (equal to 25 minutes) are permitted after the first credit has been earned in a given learning activity. You may want to verify that the state board from which your participants will be receiving credit accept one-half credits.
This is an ideal course for those employed in the petroleum, water, oil and gas and the pipeline industry that work with pipeline transportation of liquids. It is useful for design engineers, project engineers, planning and business development engineers in analyzing the capabilities of existing and new pipelines, optimizing performance and estimating requirements for expanding throughput of pipelines.
Basic mathematical knowledge and some familiarity or interest in pipelines and pumps are required.
