The perfect primer for PPIM 2017!
A bewildering display of technology and tools will be on display at the PPIM 2017 conference. This new class is designed to familiarize you with all of it in an easy-to-understand way without a lot of the technical jargon that can be so confusing.
The one-day class will be in three parts:
- “Utility” pigs and pigging activities: Cleaning pigs. Which ones do what? How they are launched and run inside a pipeline, how they are retrieved. All about chemical cleaning and pigging.
- “Smart” pigs, also known as in-line inspection (ILI) tools for internal inspection. Which ones do what? What do they tell us?
- What is “pipeline integrity” anyway? Why companies need an integrity program. What are the basic parts of an integrity program? How do they fit together?
If you don’t have a technical background but your job exposes you to any of these technical activities – or if you are new to the industry – or you just want to become more familiar with it all, you can’t spend a few hours any better than this.
Continuing Education Units (CEUs)
On completion of the course, participants will be awarded .6 CEUs.
