Operating procedures and emergency scenarios in the "pipeline simulator"

In the Pipeline Demo Center in Fürth, recently opened by Siemens, the participants of the international expert meeting "Operation of Pipeline Systems" will be able to simulate the state-of-the-art technologies, as well as emergency scenarios, on a model pipeline system. The "Master Center" permits the collection of pressures, temperatures, flow rates and vibrations, as well was extensive control options. In simulated emergency scenarios, these functions can also be assumed by a self-sufficient "Disaster Recovery Center".

In addition to these control and security systems, an essential focus of the event will be on strategies for an extension of the life expectancy of pipeline systems - an issue on which the international participants, in particular, want to learn from the experiences in Germany. The speakers invited on this issue, from VNG, E.ON Ruhrgas and Siemens, will put up for discussion theoretical backgrounds as well as practical sample applications in a total of three days from October 5 to 7, 2009 in Würzburg, and will allow the international group of participants an opportunity to talk with experts.

The Euro Institute for Information and Technology Transfer in Environmental Protection, EITEP, was founded by professional associations to offer assistance in international markets, focusing especially on small and medium-sized producers, service providers and operators in the energy, water and environmental sectors. EITEP works for and also collaborates with the respective professional associations in Germany.

Through this network in Germany and international partner associations in Central and Eastern Europe, the Far East, China, Southeast Asia and the Middle East and North Africa, EITEP assists German companies in the energy, water and environmental sectors with entering and developing international markets.

EITEP's service portfolio encompasses all areas of "Information Transfer", from the compilation of market studies and potential analyses to the organisation of conferences, participation in trade fairs and business trips with matchmaking events, to the publication of trade journals and the organisation and implementation of cooperative projects with higher education institutions and educational projects. Our national and international network of partners and the EITEP offices in the target regions mean that EITEP is in an ideal position to identify emerging trends at an early stage, enabling it to offer tailored on-site support. In extension to its "Information Transfer" services, EITEP offers concrete support for "technology transfer" in the form of individual sales support, the promotion of exports and the creation of sector-specific company pools.
