  • Impacts of air pockets that generate destructive forces
  • Importance of continuously purging air to maintain pipeline efficiency
  • Understanding gas laws that detail how air will behave in a pressurized system
  • Operational procedures that can minimize air pockets in water systems
  • Examination of old air valve designs to understand performance deficiencies that can impact how pipelines are filled and drained
  • Review of air valve inspection procedures and hands-on exercises for operators
  • How air bubbles can be removed with swabs and ice pigging
