PE0300 : Natural Gas Processing & Conditioning

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 gas conditioning and processing technology. It covers product specifications and the processes available to condition the gas 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. 

 

This 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 Clean-up. Participants will also learn the basic vocabulary unique to the industry and the key physical and chemical properties of natural gas constituents. 

 

This course will also cover the important considerations of the design and selection of key process equipment including Separators.

 

Basic properties of hydrocarbon gases and the behaviour of water-hydrocarbon systems will be discussed.  Participants will learn how to calculate system energy changes. This course will discuss the design and operational aspects of process control systems, separation equipment, absorption and fractionation facilities. Further, the methods used for dehydrating natural gas will be covered within the duration of this important course.
