This book will provide a wealth of technical information for those concerned with, or responsible for, the safety and integrity of pipeline systems.

It addresses the full life cycle of a pipeline by considering the entire spectrum of pipeline integrity management, ranging from data gathering (tools and methods), assessment techniques (condition and risks verification), to repairs and emergency response, including incident management.

A comprehensive professional reference book and training tool covering hydrocarbon liquid pipeline systems, including pipeline and appurtenances design, hydraulics design, pumping, and storage/terminal facilities designs, as well as operation and maintenance. Both high and low vapor pressure and batching systems are covered. This book provides aspects of steady state and dynamic hydraulics, mechanical design and operational issues related to pipelines transporting liquid hydrocarbons and petroleum products. In addition, liquid properties important to the design of long distance pipelines requiring multiple pump stations and storage facilities are provided.
