Risk-based optimization of the design of on-shore pipelines shutdown systems
Abstract
Crude oil and other liquid materials are transported in large quantities through pipelines. Pipelines are an efficient and safe transport way as compared to both rail and road transportation, both from the economical and environmental points of view. Nevertheless, loss of containment [...]

Temperature Augmented Visual Method for Initial Screening of Hydrate Inhibitors
Abstract
The formation of gas hydrates in oil & gas pipelines and drilling fluid flow lines is a major issue in the petroleum industry. Gas hydrate inhibitors are normally used to inhibit the formation of gas hydrates in the pipelines/flowlines. Initial screening of hydrate inhibitors and [...]- 0

Seismic vulnerability of gas and liquid buried pipelines
Abstract
Lifelines play a crucial and essential role in human life and in economic development. The resilience of those systems under extreme events as earthquakes is a primary requirement, especially when large amount of toxic and flammable material are transported. In this work, the seismic [...]- 1

A mechanistic model for pressure drops in corrugated plates static mixers
Abstract
In this work original experimental data and a simplified model for the prediction of pressure drops in pipelines equipped with static mixers are presented. The experimental data clarify the effect of the element length and of the relative position between two consecutive elements [...]- 2

Effects of microplasma arc AISI 316L welds on the corrosion behaviour of pipelines in LiBr cooling systems
Abstract
[EN] The effect of microplasma arc welding (MPAW) on the electrochemical and corrosion behaviour of AISI 316L stainless steel tubes has been studied. Scanning electrochemical measurements were performed in sodium chloride to evaluate the difference in the electrochemical activity [...]- 0
