Pipeline Integrity Management

The KROHNE Academy is a series of conferences focused on the topic of “Pipeline Integrity Management.” The KROHNE Academy is not a product promoting conference. Instead, it aims to bring industry experts together under one roof to provide insights into the various technologies, industrial standards and procedures facing pipeline operators. The topics address key operating issues from pipeline safety to ways of increasing pipeline efficiency while controlling costs.These seminars are produced as a collaborative effort by leaders in their respective fields; ROSEN, Phoenix Contact, Trihedral, KROHNE, and featuring a guest speaker from PRCI. Spanning 4 regions across North America, these confe-rences are aimed at engineers, operators and contractors from the pipeline industries.In addition to the seminar program, an exhibition featuring Pipeline Integrity Management solutions will be running during the break times. This exhibition provides an ideal opportunity for attendees to gather additional information and to speak with the experts and benefit from their vast application knowledge.
