Flow Assurance for Pipeline System

About the Course:

Flow Assurance for Pipeline System adalah kursus yang memberikan pemahaman mendalam tentang fenomena aliran yang dapat membantu peserta menghindari masalah seperti pembentukan hidrat, gelombang tekanan (surge), atau kegagalan aliran cairan dengan viskositas tinggi. Kursus ini dirancang untuk mengatasi tantangan operasional yang sering dihadapi dalam pengelolaan pipa, seperti korosi, slugging, deposisi lilin, dan multiphase fluids. Dengan memahami penyebab dan solusi yang tersedia, peserta dapat meningkatkan keandalan sistem pipa mereka serta memastikan kelancaran operasional.

Kursus empat hari ini berfokus pada aspek-aspek penting dalam operasi pipa, termasuk pencegahan dan mitigasi masalah flow assurance. Peserta akan mempelajari pendekatan desain dan solusi operasional untuk mengatasi berbagai tantangan, dengan penekanan pada aplikasi praktis dan studi kasus nyata.

Course Objectives:

• Menilai perilaku fisik dari tantangan utama flow assurance: korosi, pembentukan hidrat, perilaku transien, dan deposisi lilin.
