EUROPIPE expert Christoph Bosch outlines a new toughness model using drop-weight tear testing to improve safety in CO₂ pipelines, addressing limits of traditional Charpy impact tests.
Part 2 of this cathodic protection series examines how alternating current (AC) interference affects sacrificial anode performance, including polarity reversal in magnesium and corrosion rates in zinc ribbon anodes used for pipeline protection.
Learn how utilities and processors use modern gas analysis technologies, including tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS), to detect and remove contaminants like H₂S and ensure natural gas purity across the U.S. pipeline grid.
Cathodic protection (CP) is a technique to reduce the corrosion of a metal surface by making that surface the cathode of an electrochemical cell. The cathode in an electrochemical cell is the electrode where reduction (and no corrosion) occurs.
IMI is ready to deliver 15 QuickTrak Digital Valve Control System and Positioners for one of the world’s largest oil pipelines, which spans approximately 800 miles (1,287 km) across Alaska, marking a significant step forward in enhancing the efficiency and safety of this piece of critical infrastructure.
In 2007, the Pipeline Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) released a Notice of Preliminary Rule Making (NPRM), known as the Control Room Management (CRM) rule. Since the CRM rule went into full effect in 2012, pipeline operators have seen significant transformation in the control room operation.
With rising global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and worldwide commitment to avoid environmental impacts, the contribution of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies is crucial. Controlling impurities in CCS pipelines is key to this effort.
(P&GJ) — Pipelines can accumulate deposits and debris, with fouling influenced by fluid composition, contaminants like hydrogen sulfide and heavy metals, and operating conditions such as temperature, pressure, and flow.
Dry gas flows can unpredictably become wet, and accidental liquids in gas transmission networks create hidden financial costs and pose serious safety risks.
The Charlotte-based Piedmont Natural Gas utility field representative is a serial hero, having performed three life-changing heroic acts in 2023.
PipeSense, installed three of its advanced systems across the U.S. in support of EnControl, a third-party control room company to the oil, gas and hydrogen industries.
The article examines the future of pipeline development post-TIMP rule, highlighting advancements in integrity assessments, data collection, and preventive measures. It discusses how the industry has evolved over the past 20 years and the potential for future improvements in pipeline safety and technology.
Pipelines play an integral part in modern industry. They help transport essential resources like water, oil, and gas across vast distances, ensuring facilities stay functional and operational.
(P&GJ) — Innovative inline inspection technologies NDT Global launched a 56-inch ultrasonic inline inspection tool, which was developed in collaboration oil and gas company Aramco.
As the global demand for energy grows, so too does the need to transition toward sustainable energy sources. For many process manufacturers, carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) is a central part of their efforts to reduce emissions of one of the most prevalent greenhouse gases (GHGs), carbon dioxide (CO2).
