Pipeline Transportation Systems for Liquid Hydrocarbons & Other Liquids (Conforms to ASME Code B31.4)

Introduction:

Pipelines play a vital role in our economy. They carry, on daily basis, the liquid heating and motor fuels on which we depend. They draw little public attention until they malfunction and release their contents into the environment. Pipeline operators have a duty to preserve public safety and the environment.  Responsible employees of a pipeline operator have a duty to thoroughly understand and rigorously adhere to principles of safe pipeline design and operation in order to keep the products flowing and to minimize the chances that any product will ever be released unintentionally into the environment. Basic safe pipelining starts with the ASME B31.4 Code. This course provides the foundation for properly applying the code in the interest of public and employee safety.  Its goal is to familiarize pipeline operating personnel, public safety personnel, and state and federal regulators with the important safety-related aspects of ASME B31.4.

Course Objectives:

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

· Describe the basic elements of pipeline design, construction and maintenance

· Explain how to apply principles of safe pipeline design and operation

Who Should Attend?

Piping engineers and designers, fabricators and erectors, QA/QC personnel, engineers and maintenance personnel who desire a more in depth understanding of the Fabrication and Examination rules of the ASME Codes & Standards, operation, mechanical and maintenance personnel, inspection and quality personnel responsible for specifying, operating, inspecting and maintaining piping systems, code compliance personnel, regulatory personnel, consulting engineers, design engineers, maintenance engineers, project engineers, maintenance personnel, service engineers, planners and schedulers, M & E foremen, technical assistants & coordinators & technicians, public safety officials, and government regulators
