COURSE OVERVIEW:

This comprehensive course on Glycol Circulation System Design focuses on interpreting, reviewing and enhancing design specifications related to glycol circulation systems and associated equipment, primarily in gas dehydration applications. Participants will explore the full glycol loop, including lean and rich glycol circuits, circulation rate definition, flash drums, filters, heat exchangers, pumps, regeneration interfaces and control schemes. Emphasis is placed on how gas conditions, water dew point targets, operating pressures and temperatures, and system hydraulics influence the design and performance of the glycol circulation system. Practical exercises and case studies will enable participants to assess existing designs, identify bottlenecks and reliability risks, and develop robust, efficient and operable glycol systems.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

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

1. Explain the fundamental principles and terminology of glycol circulation system design in the context of gas dehydration.
2. Interpret and review glycol circulation system design documents, including design bases, process flow diagrams, piping and instrumentation diagrams, and key equipment datasheets.
3. Apply practical methods to define glycol circulation rates, size main circulation lines, and configure flash drums, filters, heat exchangers and pumps.
4. Develop effective design strategies for glycol circulation systems that support stable operation, good dehydration performance, and safe integration with contactor and regeneration sections.
5. Identify common design deficiencies and operational problems in glycol circulation systems and propose practical improvement and optimization measures.
6. Understand current trends and best practices in glycol circulation system design, including energy efficiency, foaming and corrosion mitigation, filtration and reclaiming concepts.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

-Process engineers

-Design and project process engineers

-Operations and plant engineers

-Optimization, troubleshooting and process safety engineers

-Senior and junior process 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.
