Instructor: E. Shashi Menon, P.E.
Today, more than ever, operators of pipelines need to be knowledgeable about pipeline hydraulics. Field personnel must understand the effect of pumps and valves in a gathering system, trunk line or terminal facilities. This specially tailored Liquid Pipeline Hydraulics Training Workshop for Operators (Supervisors, Pumpers, Gagers, Control center staff, Maintenance personnel, etc) will provide the right mix of theory and practical insight using minimum amount of mathematics. Get your pipeline operators, controllers and other field personnel trained in the essentials of Liquid Pipeline Hydraulics. Convenient one-day and two-day classes may be scheduled at your facility for up to 12 participants per session.
This Course is also available on a CD-ROM. Call or email for details.
