Price: $4,999.00 Length: 4 Days Pipeline Leak Detection Training Course Description Pipeline Leak Detection Course is a 4-day training boot camp covers all aspects of pipeline leak detection system. Pipeline leak detection systems can help minimize the liability of pipeline operating companies. The early identification and accurate location of a pipeline incident are essential for protecting a companys reputation. Leak detection is a good tool for quickly raising alarms for theft, identifying product loss due to wear and corrosion to the pipe, and/or preventing environmental events caused by spills. Whether driven by safety and production concerns or regulatory requirements, the method chosen for leak detection has a significant impact on its effectiveness. Although moving crude oil, gas, liquid and hazardous materials in pipelines is the safest means of transport, a number of incidents have been associated with this method. Statistics from the Office of Pipeline Safety within the U.S. Department of Transportation, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration show that over the twenty year period from 1991 to 2010 there were 5,636 significant incidents involving 378 fatalities, US$ 440,652,471 property damage and 2,566,699 gross barrels spilled in the USA alone. Pipeline incidents incur liabilities to pipeline operators, pipeline shareholders and owner of the volume lost. Such liabilities can range from cleaning up cost and damage compensation to criminal offences. Major liabilities are usually associated with major leak events without a reliable pipeline leak detection system. Therefore investing in a proven and reliable leak detection system can help pipeline companies minimize the consequences of a pipeline incident. To maintain the above performance standard, it is necessary for the pipeline operating companies and leak detection system to insure that: The field instruments are working correctly. The SCADA and telecommunication system are available. The leak detection system is optimized to current operating and instrument conditions. Alarms and anomalies are addressed timely. Operators have confidence in the leak detection system at all times. After completing this course, students will be able to: Explain the basic architecture and components of a Pipeline and Pipeline Leak Detection System (LDS) Describe the component technologies behind an LDS system Describe the component technologies behind a SCADA system Apply potential benefits of LDS and SCADA applied to Aramco Understand the base standards that apply to LDS Understand the terms used in describing the technology Discuss the technical aspects of LDS, SCADA and communications methods Review LDS and SCADA System Design Considerations Review integration of LDS with SCADA Explain LDS and SCADA performance and Optimization considerations Explore project planning process of LDS Discuss successful and unsuccessful LDS deployments Step through a practical process for managing LDS Systems
