Организация и контроль проведения испытаний магистрального газопровода на прочность и герметичность при прокладке в многолетнемерзлых грунтах

Целью выпускной квалификационной работы магистранта является выбор технического решения при проведении испытания магистрального газопровода на прочность и герметичность, направленного на соблюдение сроков производства работ. Объектом исследования является линейный участок магистрального газопровода "Сила Сибири". В ходе работы были рассмотрены способы проведения испытания магистрального газопровода на прочность и герметичность, а также разработаны рекомендации по повышению эффективности проведения испытания.The purpose of the graduate qualification work of the undergraduate is to choose a technical solution when testing the main gas pipeline for strength and tightness, aimed at meeting the deadlines for work. The object of the study is a linear section of the main gas pipeline "Power of Siberia". In the course of the work, methods of testing the main gas pipeline for strength and tightness were considered, as well as recommendations for improving the efficiency of the test were developed

Development and validation of a model for the simulation of the air drying phenomena in pipelines

The main aim of this research work consists in the development and validation of a model, based on a numerical method, and its relevant simulation software, to solve the differential equations governing the drying process of gas pipelines. The knowledge of this phenomenon represents the key factor for performing effective pre-commissioning activities in petrochemical industry; in order to avoid hydrate formation and pipe corrosion, it is in fact necessary to achieve an effective removal of all water prior the introduction of hydrocarbon gas. This is normally achieved by performing a bulk dewatering operation, followed by a drying operation which efficiency is dependent on the air flow rate, air pressure and temperature. In this paper, the model implemented in a finite volume-based simulation software, as well as the considerations that have been made for its development, is presented. Its predictions are compared with available air drying field data of two existing gas pipeline systems
