 Program and Registration FormMonday, 5 October 2009, 10:00 - 18:00 The first day provides an overview on all relevant components of a state-of-the-art pipeline system and gives an insight into the technical details of each part. The day ends with a site visit at the transfer station and CCGT plant in Würzburg where the participants get an introduction into practical aspects of daily work. Introduction ● Pipeline-based Transportation of Oil, Gas and other Media ● Worldwide Pipeline Outlook ● Regulation Framework Functional and Technical Description ● Pipeline Design ● Compressor / Booster, Valve, Metering, Blending, and Pressure Reduction Stations ● Gas Storages and Gas Storage Facilities ● Other Technical Equipment ● Environmental Impact ● Special Aspects of Offshore Pipeline Systems ● Feeding-in of Bio Gas Discussion of Case Studies and Practical Examples Site Visit to the Transfer Station and CCGT Plant, Würzburg ● Discussions on Practical Aspects in Daily Work Dinner at the Castle of Würzburg Tuesday, 6 October 2009, 9:00 - 18:00 The aim of the second day is to give the participants a comprehensive overview on latest pipeline integrity technologies and management procedures. The seminar ends with a visit of the compressor station at Rimpar where the participants receive information on its new automation system. Pipeline Integrity ● Safety Philosophy ● Pipeline Pigging / Inspection and Leak Detection ● Safety Devices, Monitoring Maintenance Patrolling ● Pipeline Protection / Corrosion Control ● PIMS – Pipeline Integrity Management Systems ● Troubleshooting and Failure Investigation ● Repair Welding Discussion of Case Studies and Practical Examples Site Visit to the Compressor Station Rimpar / MEGAL Pipeline ● Discussions on Practical Aspects in Daily Work Dinner at a Vineyard Wednesday, 7 October 2009, 9:00 - 16:00 The third day introduces to new technologies and latest IT applications for the automation of pipeline systems. The main focus lies on flexible modular software architectures and their interfaceability. During their stay at the Siemens Pipeline Demonstration Center the participants simulate a real-time pipeline system and learn how to react on internal and external interferences. Operational Improvements / Security Systems / System Automation ● IT and Expert Systems ● SCADA Systems ● Measurement and Accounting ● Risk Management ● Third-party Impact / Emergency Shut-down Procedures ● Automation of Pipeline Systems ● Software Architecture Discussion of Case Studies and Practical Examples Siemens Pipeline Demonstration Center, Fürth / Nürnberg ● Simulation of Pipeline Operation and Disaster Management
