COURSE OVERVIEW

Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a complete and up-to-date overview of natural gas and LPG conditioning and processing technology. It covers product specifications and the processes available to condition the natural gas and LPG in order to meet these requirements. Participants will understand the nature and purpose of key gas processing operations, and how the individual operations are integrated into plants to process diverse feed streams received from gas fields around the world. 

 

The course will provide participants with a working knowledge of the major processes for Dehydration, Acid Gas Removal (Gas Sweetening), Hydrocarbon Dewpoint Control (HCDP Control), LPG Production, NGL Recovery and Separation (Fractionation), Sulphur Recovery and Tail-Gas Cleanup. Participants will also learn the basic vocabulary unique to the industry and the key physical and chemical properties of natural gas constituents. 

 

The course will also cover the main aspects of LPG in view of specification, production, and PFD. Methods of treatment using UOP Merox processes, types of storage tanks and troubleshooting will be thoroughly discussed.

 

Basic properties of hydrocarbon gases and the behaviour of water-hydrocarbon systems will be covered. The course will discuss the design and operational aspects of process control systems, separation equipment, pumping and compression facilities, and absorption and fractionation facilities. Further, the methods used for dehydrating natural gas will be discussed.
