Polymer Composite Systems in Pipeline Repair: Design, Manufacture, Application, and Environmental Impacts

Polymer Composite Systems for Pipeline Repair: Design, Manufacture, Application, and Environmental Impacts delivers the latest developments in nanomaterials, specifically polymers and composites that can support pipeline repair in an effective and more environmentally-sound way. Edited by a diverse worldwide group of contributors, the reference touches on design and manufacturing techniques, patch configurations, hybrid pipes used in harsher environments, and damage detection techniques. High temperature, marine, and cold fluids are also included. Rounding out with economic and environmental impact assessments, this book gives today’s oil and gas pipeline engineers an impactful and sustainable tool to safely repair pipelines. Present readers with detailed knowledge on the design, manufacture and application of composite systems used to repair damage in pipelines Assesses the environmental impacts on pipeline repairs using nano materials Provides the most recent developments in the research of polymers, blends and composites for repair applications Bridge theory and practice on the most recent developments in the research of polymers, blends and composites, with applicable case studies and contributions from a diverse group of worldwide contributors
