COURSE OVERVIEW:

The course will provide the participants with an understanding of gas treatment, conditioning and liquefaction technologies as used in modern gas and liquefied natural gas facilities. It explains how raw gas is treated to remove contaminants, conditioned to meet technical specifications, and finally liquefied for transport and storage. Participants will gain insight into major process steps, key equipment, operating principles, and how these units are integrated. Emphasis is placed on practical operation, typical operating issues, and troubleshooting of equipment used in gas conditioning and liquefaction systems.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

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

1. Explain the overall role of gas treatment, conditioning and liquefaction in the gas value chain.
2. Describe the main contaminants in raw natural gas and the reasons for removing them.
3. Explain the principles and main process schemes used in gas treatment processes such as acid gas removal and contaminant control.
4. Describe gas conditioning and processing principles and systems used to meet water, hydrocarbon dew point, and product quality specifications.
5. Identify the key equipment used in gas conditioning units and explain their functions.
6. Explain the basic thermodynamic principles that enable gas liquefaction and the main steps in liquefied natural gas production.
7. Describe the major liquefaction technologies and the key equipment used, including cryogenic heat exchangers and refrigeration compressors.
8. Recognize common operating problems and typical symptoms in gas treatment, conditioning and liquefaction systems.
9. Apply structured troubleshooting approaches to equipment used in gas conditioning and to interfaces with liquefaction units.
10. Relate process and operating decisions to safety, reliability, and environmental performance in gas treatment and liquefaction facilities.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

-Operations professionals working in gas plants and liquefied natural gas facilities

-Process and production engineers involved in gas treatment and conditioning systems

-Control room operators responsible for gas treatment, dehydration, and liquefaction units

-Field operators working on gas conditioning, refrigeration, and cryogenic systems

-Maintenance and reliability personnel supporting gas processing and liquefaction equipment

-Technical staff and new graduates seeking a solid understanding of gas treatment, conditioning and liquefaction technologies

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.
