About

The Pipeline Simulation Interest Group (PSIG) was formed in 1969. Its purpose is to facilitate the interchange of information and to advance the state of the art in modeling, simulation, optimization, steady-state and transient flows, single and multiphase flows, and related subjects as applied to fluid pipeline systems.

PSIG is an independent group, and is not affiliated with any other organization. It is administered by an executive council and operates in an unstructured, informal manner.

Conferences

An annual meeting is held each year in spring at various locations around the country. This two and one-half day meeting is attended by about 170 people who represent major gas companies, major oil companies, specialized consultants, and universities in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, and Asia. Papers of a high caliber are presented in a relaxed atmosphere where informality is the key. Strong emphasis is placed on discussion of the presented material.

Pipeline Simulation Short Course

 The Pipeline Simulation Interest Group regularly holds its popular 2-day Pipeline Simulation Short Course (PSSC). Typically the course is held just prior to the PSIG conference to facilitate attendance of both the short course and the conference. The course consists of 6 classes each focusing on an aspect of pipeline simulation and is taught by industry experts. Specific details of the course, cost, schedule, etc. are provided when the conference registration opens.

Fluid Properties

From basic definitions to discussions of equations of state and their use within simulation, this course leads the student through one of the most fundamental parts of any modern pipeline simulator.

Pipeline Flow Equations

The Pipeline Flow Equation course introduces the attendees to the Bernoulli equation, the concept of enthalpy and how to apply the Bernoulli equation to a pipeline.

Multiphase Flow in Pipelines

The Multiphase Flow in Pipelines course discusses the challenges presented by the concurrent flow of two or more fluids in a pipeline.

Real-Time Systems and Leak Detection

The course will start with some working examples for pig and commodity tracking, hydraulic analysis, water balancing and leak detection.

Compressor Station Modeling

The Centrifugal Compressor course starts by introducting the general principles of gas compression, then moves into working principles of centrifugal compressors and provides an overview of components within the compressor, then moves into operational characteristics and finishes with a presentation of real-life data.

Natural Gas Pipeline and Operations Planning

The Natural Gas Pipeline and Operations Planning short course will aim to review the basic principles used by hydraulic engineers to determine and troubleshoot the flow of gas in gathering, transmission and distribution pipeline networks.
