A bewildering display of technology and tools will be on display at the PPIM 2017 Conference and Exhibition. 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 (Feb. 27, 9am - 5pm) 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, if you are new to the industry – or you just want to become more familiar with it all, you can’t spend a day any better than this. Only $595!
