Natural Gas Pipeline Operations with Increased Hydrogen

Problem Statement Decarbonization has become a politicized issue in recent years.  As engineers our mandate is to examine problems and provide solutions, not necessarily to pontificate on the validity of the problems posed or the priorities that should be placed on these problems.  In this blog post, we will examine said problems and discuss methodologies…

Calculation of Transient Piping Loads Caused by Pressure

SINGLE-PHASE HYDRAULICS, SYNERGI PIPELINE SIMULATOR (SPS) Piping and pipeline design engineers are familiar with the dangers of pressure surges (commonly referred to as “water hammer”) in liquid-filled pipes/pipelines.  Pressure surges can be caused by transient events, such as valve closures and pump trips, that cause a pressure wave to move through the piping system at…
