Book Description
Pipelines provide the most efficient method of transporting fluids. Consequently, pipeline systems have been utilized for transportation of water for centuries. Every day, new systems are being designed and old systems are being refurbished and upgraded. All pipelines have to be monitored on a regular basis to ensure they continue to perform to their operational standard. The effects of financial pressures, environmental requirements and legislative changes all place pressures on technical managers and staff to achieve continual improvements in the quality and efficiency of pipeline systems under their control. This text focuses on the current technical developments in this field and should be interest to all engineers, specialists, managers, chemists and biologists involved in the water industry, as well as those concerned with pipelines in general.
