System Testing with Water, Air or Nitrogen

Prior to the introduction of hydrocarbon, hydrostatic or pneumatic testing is typically employed to confirm the integrity of pipe work and vessels. For LNG/LPG facilities the presence of water or moisture poses a number of potentials startup and operational concerns.

Proper design and engineering of the overalls program for hydrostatic testing and subsequent draining and dewatering of the system are critical to the safe startup and commissioning of the system.
