Flow Assurance in Pipelines: A Reference Guide

Flow Assurance in Pipelines: A Reference Guide is a comprehensive resource that delivers applied modeling and management engineering approaches that are supported by a helpful appendix of today's computer software programs for practical application. Many environmental factors and solutions are offered, including produced water disposal, GHG emissions at plants, and commissioning issues during dewatering operations. Supported by impactful flow charts and practical case studies, this book gives pipeline engineers a resource for sustainable and more advanced operations. Helps readers understand engineering practices and operations in flow stability, integrity, and deliverabilityProvides tactics on how to improve environmental safety with mitigation on GHG emissions from topsides and processing plants, as well as prevention around flaring during blowdownPresents impactful flow charts and case studies in several key chapters INDICE: Part I - Fundamentals 1.
