Ebook: Pipeline Pigging and Integrity Technology

This book provides a wide-ranging overview of the best in pigging and integrity-monitoring technology, and thus makes essential reading for all involved in these increasingly-important industries. The contents are divided into six sections, dealing with utility pigging, corrosion issues, intelligent pigging, case studies, integrity management, and prefaced by a section with a number of important, but general papers.
