COURSE OVERVIEW:

This comprehensive course on Gas Dehydration System Design focuses on interpreting, reviewing and enhancing design specifications for gas dehydration systems in gas plants and processing facilities. Participants will examine the full dehydration system, from feed gas conditions and water content specifications through to the selection and design of dehydration technologies, with emphasis on glycol (TEG) and molecular sieve systems. The course highlights how gas composition, operating pressure and temperature, water dew point targets, hydrate risk and downstream requirements influence design choices. Participants will work through practical examples and case studies to assess design options, verify sizing concepts and identify opportunities for optimization, energy efficiency and improved operability.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

1. Explain the fundamental principles and terminology of gas dehydration and how they apply to system design.
2. Interpret and review gas dehydration system design documents, including design basis, process flow diagrams, heat and material balances and key equipment datasheets.
3. Select appropriate gas dehydration technologies, with particular focus on glycol and molecular sieve systems, based on gas composition, pressure and specification requirements.
4. Apply practical methods to define water content and dew point specifications, estimate dehydration duty and configure single and multi-stage systems with regeneration sections and auxiliaries.
5. Develop strategies for effective gas dehydration system design implementation, considering operability, reliability, access for maintenance and integration with upstream and downstream units.
6. Identify common design deficiencies and operational problems in gas dehydration systems and propose practical mitigation and optimization measures.
7. Understand current trends and best practices in gas dehydration system design, including energy efficiency, emissions, chemical consumption and environmental performance.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

-Process engineers involved in gas processing, conditioning and dehydration

-Design and project process engineers working on gas plants and compression facilities

-Operations and plant engineers responsible for gas treating and dehydration units

-Senior and junior process engineers participating in feasibility, front-end and detailed design of gas facilities

-Technical support, optimization and process safety engineers who review or audit gas dehydration systems

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions, as well as case studies, will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information, knowledge, and experience transfer. The course will be intensive but practical and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance learning. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and after the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
