What
you will learn at this hands-on workshop :
Understand the important liquid properties such as specific gravity, API gravity, viscosity in centipoise, centistokes, SSU and SSF and how to convert between various units. Effect of Vapor pressure and bulk modulus.
Concept of liquid pressure versus liquid head. Flow regimes, such as laminar and turbulent flow. Critical flow and transition region. Importance of Reynolds number in determining the type of flow. Average velocity of flow in a pipe.
Understand and use the various pressure drop formulas such as Hazen-William, Colebrook-White, Darcy-Weisbach, Miller and MIT equations for steady state flow in liquid pipelines. Quick pressure drop calculations.
Effect of Drag Reduction Agent in improving pipeline flow rate.
Understand batching different products in a pipeline.
How to size pipelines for specified flow rate and pressure limitations. Calculate Maximum Operating Pressure (MAOP) and Hydrotest pressures per ANSI B31.4 and DOT code.
How to determine the optimum location of pump stations for hydraulic balance on long distance pipelines.
Calculate the Horsepower required at each pump station for given throughput.
Analyze centrifugal pumps for various impeller sizes and speeds. Calculate impeller trim size to reduce energy loss. Understand NPSH required versus NPSH available and its effect on pump cavitation. How to correct pump performance for viscous liquids.
Actual case studies in maximizing pipeline throughput. Limitations of pumps. How to increase flow rate. De-bottlenecking pipelines. Conserving energy and calculating energy lost in mismatched pumps and due to pump throttling.
Easy to use Windows software* provided FREE for quick & accurate hydraulic studies. This is not a DEMO program! Models liquid pipelines with multiple pump stations.
Bring your laptop computer to this workshop and solve real-world pipeline engineering hydraulics problems using the free software* provided! You will learn pipeline hydraulics, without the complicated math. Learn from an industry expert who has been in the field for over 29 years. This unique workshop takes the mystery out of pipeline hydraulics and enables you to put to immediate use everything you learn at this workshop.
