Pipeline Pumping and Compression Systems: A Practical Approach
Pipeline Pumping and Compression Systems: A Practical Approach has been fully revised and updated for the second edition. It is both a training tool and 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 serves as a useful guide for the design of liquid and gas pipeline transmissions, as well as a guide to various installation options. For practicing engineers in the pipeline and oil & gas industry, specifically those in involved with the design and operation of pumping and compression systems. Read more…

Pipelines affect the daily lives of people in most parts of the world. Modern-day life is based on structures in which energy fulfills a prevailing role. Oil and gas are major participants in this energy supply . The ever shifting emergence and decline of other forms of
energy (such as coal, nuclear, hydrogen, biomass, etc., Fig. 1-1) will continue to dominate energy usage in the future, depending on the acceptability, safety, technical, environmental, and economic issues. However, pipelines are means by which many hydrocarbon-based forms of energy are transported. It is no coincidence that wherever there is the largest pipeline network, there is also the highest standard of living and technological progress.
