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.

This book provides a wealth of practical knowledge and industry best practices to address dependability management and engineering issues with helpful guidance and checklists from a system life cycle perspective, hence making this book a valued asset as a comprehensive desk-top reference. The topics presented in this book highlight the essence of life cycle management practices and systematic cost-effective solutions focusing on dependability performance characteristics for project risk avoidance and failure prevention. The dedicated chapters of relevant dependability topics are organized and structured to facilitate easy comprehension that would appeal to educators to use this as an instructional textbook to train new dependability engineers. This book is intended for engineers and practitioners who need to solve problems and find answers to achieve dependability performance of technological and evolving systems.
