AIMS 15 – Purging Pipelines and the Required Safety
Pipelines are vital in production, distribution, and refining processes, as they deliver energy to various operations where it is turned into useful fuels and products for supply to local communities. There are many products commonly delivered by pipelines, including: crude oil, refined products (such as gasoline and diesel), and natural gas liquids (such as ethane and propane).

It is human nature that what does not trouble one, should not worry one. But, it is critical to think about how many times during field operations we evaluate or examine functionality of valves. Precautions can be made for field maintenance of valves in special cases.

Although natural gas reserves are in abundance worldwide, Plants are located remotely. The transportation of gas using pipelines becomes impractical especially in case from one continent to another. Therefore, it is preferable to liquify the gas by cooling it. The advantage of liquification is that it helps shrink the volume of gas for easy storage and transportation when using ships.

Opportunities and Challenges in Safety Integrity Levels. With the initial phases of safety in asset integrity management systems like HAZOP (hazard and operability study) and SIL (safety integrity level) assignments completed and most of the engineering documentation available, the next important activity in the safety lifecycle is SIL verification.
