Pigging is essential for pipelines. Pigging is needed in all the pipelines life stages, during construction, During Operation, and for inline inspection. Pigs can do cleaning to remove depress and other remains after pipe construction to be ready for service. During operation pipeline cleaning to remove wax and black powder will improve the pipeline performance and reduce pumping power. Pigging is used for inline inspection where the present condition of the pipeline can be measured and monitored using recent techniques like MLF and Ultrasonic tools. This will help collecting data for pipeline assessment. This five days course will discuss different aspects of pipeline pigging and its different applications for the pipelines.

Objective

Delegates will learn about different types and designs of pigs.
Delegates will learn different applications of pigs for liquid and gas pipeline
Delegates will learn about the pipeline degradation mechanisms and types of failure
Delegates will learn the fitness-for-service assessment techniques

Audience

Engineers and Technicians involves in pipeline construction, maintenance and operation.

Methodology

A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information and knowledge transfer. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions, and motivate everybody find the right answers. You will also be encouraged to raise your own questions and to share in the development of the right answers using your own analysis and experiences. Tests of multiple-choice type will be made available on daily basis to examine the effectiveness of delivering the course. Very useful Course Materials will be given.
