Gas Conditioning and Processing

At the end of the course, the participants will be able to describe and explain the following:

• Gas processing principles of dehydration (water removal) by absorption, adsorption, refrigeration and low temperature separation (JT effect) and basic associated equipment
• Gas processing in-depth by absorption using glycol and glycol proper (Pre- Cooling requirements, Dew Point control and related processes). Glycol regeneration including principles of stripping, DRIZO and Coldfinger.
• Process equipment involved for water removal by absorption. (Knock out drums; Contactor - absorber and internals, heat exchangers, re-boilers, pumps, filters and glycol storage).
• Principles of gas metering and types of meter (Measurement Units (MJ, BTU, nM3, scf and conversions).
• Typical gas contracts & sales specifications.
• Gas pipeline operations.

Production and processing personnel involved with natural gas and associated liquids to acquaint or reacquaint themselves with gas conditioning and processing unit operations. This course is for production operations engineers, operations field supervisors, facility engineers, process engineers, design engineers, operations personnel and others who select, design, install, evaluate or operate gas processing plants and related facilities.
