This comprehensive professional reference has been substantially revised and updated for the third edition. It is both a training tool and reference text covering all aspects of pipeline pumping and compression system design, configuration, and operation, in addition to the dynamic behavior of all the elements in each system. The authors provide practical solutions for achieving reliable operation of these systems. This book will serve as a useful guide for the design of liquid and gas pipeline transmissions, as well as a guide to various installation options. It will be invaluable for practicing engineers in the pipeline and oil & gas industry, especially those involved with the design and operation of pumping and compression systems.

Pipeline systems are expected to play an increasingly important role in transporting carbon dioxide (CO2) captured from flue stacks to distant fields for sequestration purposes or for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). The phase diagram for a CO2 stream is very sensitive to the level of impurities, and this in turn affects pipeline design and the boundaries within which CO2 pipelines can be operated, without affecting the facilities design as well as delivery conditions. This book brings together the entire spectrum of design and operating needs for a pipeline and network of facilities that would transport CO2 containing impurities safely, without adverse impact on people and the environment.
