Why Choose Pipeline Design and Installation Training Course?
Pipeline systems for oil and gas industry are of very high importance in complex industrial operations. The purpose of this course is to present and explain the procedure for hydraulic and mechanical design of pipeline systems, with the emphasis on mechanical integrity of piping systems according to ASME B31.3 and other the relevant API standards and codes. The basic elements of pipeline installation and commissioning will be explained, as well as the best practices for maintenance programmes.
The delegates will be introduced to the main points of inspection and testing according to relevant API standards. It is deemed very important for the delegates to have full understanding of the safety aspects of the design and installation by taking into account the material degradation processes, risk analysis of equipment failures and available prevention and technologies. The course will include several workshops with real problems from industrial practice which will enable discussions and exchange of experiences
The course will feature:
- Principles of pipeline hydraulic and mechanical design according to standards
- Selection of instrumentation for pipeline flow measurements and control
- Safety devices necessary for pipeline reliability
- Guidelines for pipeline installation and commissioning
- Pipeline inspection procedures
- Best methods for pipeline maintenance
What are the Goals?
The goal in the course is to help the delegates to develop deep understanding and familiarity with the safety aspects of pipeline hydraulic and mechanical design taking into account the mechanical integrity of all components of equipment. The course will also present important steps of installation and commissioning procedure according to existing standards and codes as well as pipeline inspection and testing. Several workshops with examples from real industrial world will be solved as a team work, and they will illustrate the concepts discussed and also provide delegates with necessary experience in applying them.
By the end of this course, delegates will be able to follow the guidelines and best industrial practices related to:
- Hydraulic and Mechanical design of main elements of pipelines
- Selection and installation of accessories for safety operation
- Installation and commissioning of pipelines
- Inspection and testing of pipelines and associated equipment
- Implementation of efficient maintenance programs
