Brief Description
The short course in Pipeline System Design provides you with a sound theoretical background and practical skills in some of the hydraulic, mechanical and electrical design aspects related to the design of pipeline systems. With the latest updates on the practical aspects of pipeline design and operations, the course specifically focuses on issues of pipeline engineering, the optimisation process of pipeline systems, as well as the effect of energy escalation in pump systems. You will also be introduced to other related topics, including pipeline hydraulics, surge analysis, pipeline component design and installation, lifecycle costing, testing and operation of pipeline systems.The last day is scheduled to visit pipe- and valve manufacturers to obtain information on the latest products will be scheduled.
