Jetty loading system
Background
The modelling of loading systems is a major application for PIPENET VISION Transient Module. Loading systems are often susceptible to suffer from pressure-surge problems. Furthermore, as such systems are usually located near the sea, a leak of hydrocarbon material could potentially lead to an environmental disaster. The use of GRE (glass reinforced epoxy) pipes, which are less elastic than steel and use adhesives which potentially lead to weaker joints, can further increase the need for careful analysis.
