UPCOMING SESSIONS
Through this Natural Gas Utilities training course, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of the diverse physical and chemical properties exhibited by natural gas components and their significance in the industry. Familiarize yourself with essential processes such as dehydration, acid gas removal (gas sweetening), hydrocarbon dew point control (HCDP control), LPG production, and NGL recovery and separation (fractionation).
For the smooth operation of these processes, certain utilities are indispensable. The most commonly employed utilities for heating purposes are steam, hot oil, and fired heaters. Nitrogen finds application in purging, while instrument air plays a vital role in operating all the valves involved in the various processes.
This Energy Training Centre training course will highlight:
- Overview about natural gas
- Glycol and amine regeneration
- Steam production and network
