COURSE OVERVIEW:

This comprehensive course on Gas Separation System Design focuses on interpreting, reviewing and enhancing design specifications related to gas separation systems in oil, gas and processing facilities. Participants will examine how well designed separation systems protect downstream equipment, improve reliability and efficiency, and ensure that gas and liquid streams meet process and specification requirements. The course covers the design of inlet separators, scrubbers, slug catchers, filter separators and associated internals, as well as the definition of design bases, performance criteria and operating envelopes. Through practical exercises and case studies, participants will learn how to assess existing separation systems, identify deficiencies and develop robust, fit for purpose design solutions.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

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

1. Explain the fundamental principles and terminology of gas separation system design and how they apply in oil, gas and processing facilities.
2. Define and review the design basis for gas separation systems, including process conditions, fluid properties and required separation performance.
3. Apply practical design concepts for two phase and three phase separators, scrubbers, slug catchers and filter separators, including selection of vessel orientation and key dimensions at a conceptual level.
4. Evaluate and specify suitable separator internals such as inlet devices, demisting equipment and coalescers to achieve required gas and liquid quality.
5. Integrate instrumentation, control, level management and pressure relief requirements into gas separation system design.
6. Identify common design and operating problems in gas separation systems, such as carryover, foaming, slugging, erosion and poor turndown, and propose practical mitigation strategies.
7. Understand current trends and best practices in gas separation system design, including reliability, operability, safety and environmental considerations.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

-Process engineers

-Design and project process engineers

-Operations and plant engineers

-Process safety and loss prevention engineers

-Technical support and optimization engineers

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.
