COURSE OVERVIEW

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 detailed and up-to-date overview of Advanced Gas Dehydration and Mercury Removal. It covers the composition and properties of natural gas and the importance of dehydration and mercury removal; the sources of water in natural gas, formation and impact of hydrates and sources of mercury in and effects of mercury contamination; the gas hydrate formation and prevention, gas dehydration processes, mercury removal technologies and process flow and equipment; and the glycol-based dehydration systems, glycol regeneration and contamination control, solid desiccant dehydration, membrane-based dehydration technologies and hybrid dehydration technologies.
Further, the course will also discuss the fundamentals of mercury removal, activated carbon and metal sulfide-based adsorbents; the impregnated and non-impregnated adsorbents and mercury removal from LNG and cryogenic systems; the performance monitoring and optimization of mercury removal units; identifying health, safety, and environmental consideration by handling of mercury-contaminated waste; the process simulation and modeling for dehydration and mercury removal; and the importance of process simulation.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the advanced control strategies for dehydration systems and cost optimization in dehydration and mercury removal; the reliability-centered maintenance for dehydration and mercury removal units; the troubleshooting and root cause analysis of process failures; the environmental regulations and compliance for dehydration; the mercury removal, waste management and handling of spent adsorbents and glycol; and the future trends and innovations in gas dehydration and mercury removal.
