Overview
By Mo Mohitpour, Hossein Golshan and Alan Murray
This third edition of this highly successful volume is fully updated and includes new information on buoyancy control, Trenchless Crossing methods, as well as on Compressor Fuel Calculations and Optimization, Hydrotesting and LPG Pipelining. This book offers straightforward, practical techniques for pipeline design and construction, making it an ideal professional reference, training tool, or comprehensive text.
The authors present the various elements that make up a single-phase liquid and gas pipeline system, including how to design, construct, commission, and assess pipelines and related facilities. They discuss gas and liquid transmission, compression, pumps, protection and integrity, procurement services, and the management of pipeline projects. More complex specialty fluids are also covered, including CO2, H2, slurry and multi-products.
Synopsis
Analyzes the various elements that influence the design of a single-phase pipeline system constructed to transport a gas or liquid, usually over a long distance. The authors review the general flow equation for compressible fluids and gases, methods to maintain gas pressure, the operation of pumping equipment, and formulas for determining the stresses in a pipe. The book is based on a continuing education course offered at the University of Calgary, and is sponsored by TransCanada. The second edition updates codes and standards.
