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.
