ASME Pipeline Systems Division
Best Paper Award (Rio Award)

IPC 2008 will carry on the tradition started in 2002, when the Pipeline Systems Division (PSD) introduced an award to honour the best paper presented at the International Pipeline Conference (IPC). Apart from gaining the recognition of having authored the best paper, the PSD has agreed
to provide airfare and expenses for the winning author to present his/her paper at the Rio Pipeline Conference & Exposition sponsored by the Brazilian Petroleum Institute (IBP) in Rio de Janeiro
in October 2009.
