Gas Conditioning and Processing
By Asia Edge
ABOUT THIS TRAINING COURSE This 3 full-day course covers the design of systems for natural gas handling and treatment from the wellhead to the gas processing plant to achieve marketable products that meet desired product specifications. This course will emphasize on field handling equipment and separation systems, dehydration, fluid measurement, sampling and analysis as well as introduction into reciprocating and centrifugal compressors. It will comprise interactive presentations including exercises/quizzes. This course can also be offered through Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) format. Training Objectives 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. Target Audience Production and processing personnel involved with natural gas and associated liquids to acquaint or reacquaint themselves with gas conditioning and processing unit operations.

Natural Gas Properties & Sulphur Recovery
By Asia Edge
ABOUT THIS VIRTUAL INSTRUCTOR LED TRAINING (VILT) This 5 half-day VILT course will comprehensively cover the technical aspects of gas processing. The scope will be from the wellhead through the typical gas processing plant and discuss gas gathering (pipeline hydraulics), natural gas treating (H2S, CO2 removal), acid gas injection and sulfur recovery. One unique aspect of this training course is the operations and troubleshooting discussions in each module. This VILT course is suited to technical personnel or technical management. Training Objectives After the completion of this VILT course, participants will be able to: * Grasp the key specifications of natural gas and liquid products * Understand the physical and transport properties of gases and liquids and liquid-vapor phase behavior * Explore the various technologies for processing natural gas and to make the specifications * Examine the design of the technologies * Learn how to diagnose operating problems to keep facilities running reliably Target Audience This VILT course is intended for all surface technical personnel such as process engineers & technologists, facility engineers and production engineers & technologists. This VILT course will greatly benefit but not limited to: * Process, petroleum and production engineers * Field operators and technicians * Personnel involved in gas treatment and processing * Managers and Supervisors involved with gas processing operations Course Level * Basic or Foundation * Intermediate Training Methods The VILT course will be delivered online in 5 half-day sessions comprising 4 hours per day, with 2 breaks of 10 minutes per day. Course Duration: 5 half-day sessions, 4 hours per session (20 hours in total). The maximum number of participants for this course is 20 persons. Case studies and Exercises: This VILT course will use actual case references throughout its duration in various forms. This will allow the application of the participants' newly-acquired knowledge. Case studies also stimulate independent thinking and discussion among the participants Trainer Your expert course leader has written several papers that have been published in both academic and industry journals. He has over 30 years of industry experience, specializing in gas processing (pipeline hydraulics, separation, dehydration, treating, sulphur recovery and refrigeration processes) and also has experience with crude oil dehydration, stabilization and micro-refining topping plants.
