Selection and construction of pipelines take up the majority of the work in the design of a process plant for transporting water, sewage, oil, gas and waste. A technical staff should have expert knowledge on piping system devices and its operation to design a more efficient piping system.
This course is designed to help students to understand the fundamentals of piping system including pumps, piping hangers, reactors and heat exchangers.
After completing this course, students will have sound knowledge on the latest advances in pipe design and installations that minimize risk.
