COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of pipeline hydraulics and surge analysis. It covers the liquid pipeline hydraulic comprising of the steady and transient state transportation of liquids in pipelines; the basics of fluid mechanics as it applies to in real world pipeline design; the common formulas and equations and how they are applied in resolving actual pipeline transportation problems; the liquid properties and how they vary with temperature and pressure; and the multiple pump stations and hydraulic pressure gradient in long distance pipelines. 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the impact of liquid specific gravity and viscosity on pump performance; the liquid pipeline surge theory and concept as well as methods of analysis; the surge concepts in frictionless flow, slow closure of valves and surge concepts in flow with friction; the column separation and criteria for conducting transient analysis; the hydraulic transient control strategies, pumps control and control tanks; the valves for transient control and containment of transients; the surge control for water pumping stations and pipeline design; and the computer analysis and transients in distribution systems.
