COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using Aspen HYSYS simulator.

This course presents an overview of the natural gas process simulation using Hysys, from the wellhead to the marketplace, with emphasis on gas plant process operations. The overall process flowsheet will be used to illustrate how the various operations are integrated into plants capable of handling diverse feeds from gas fields around the world.

The key processes of dehydration, acid gas removal and hydrocarbon separation, including ethane and natural gas liquids (NGL) recovery, will be emphasized. Participants should bring their computers and a Hysys key as there will be an opportunity for participants to participate in process simulation.
The course covers Aspen HYSYS process simulation; how to get started; propane refrigeration loop; refrigerated gas plants; NGL fractionation, oil

characterization and HP separation; gas gathering; two stage compression; heat exchanger rating; gas dehydration with TEG; reporting in Aspen HYSYS; best practices and troubleshooting; optional exercises and extra materials and liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant.
