Course Objectives:

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

1. Fundamentals of Gas Systems and Equipment

  • Understand the role of gas systems in oil & gas processing, refining, and industrial applications.
  • Identify different types of gases commonly handled in processing facilities (natural gas, hydrogen, fuel gas, process gas).
  • Learn the importance of gas quality control and key parameters such as pressure, temperature, flow rate, and composition.

2. Basic Gas Processing and Handling

  • Explain gas separation principles, including two-phase and three-phase separation.
  • Understand gas dehydration methods (glycol dehydration, molecular sieves).
  • Learn about gas sweetening for acid gas removal (CO₂, H₂S removal).
  • Recognize the importance of compression, gas flow control, and pressure regulation.

3. Overview of Gas Equipment and Components

  • Identify key equipment used in gas systems:
    • Compressors (reciprocating, centrifugal, screw).
    • Heat exchangers (shell-and-tube, plate, finned).
    • Pressure vessels and separators.
    • Valves, meters, and safety relief systems.
  • Learn basic design considerations for gas equipment sizing and selection.

4. Gas System Safety and Environmental Considerations

  • Recognize safety hazards associated with gas systems, including high-pressure operations and leak risks.
  • Understand basic safety controls, including pressure relief systems, emergency shutdowns (ESD), and gas detection systems.
  • Identify environmental concerns such as gas emissions, flaring, and venting.
  • Learn about compliance with industry regulations and best practices for gas handling.

5. Basic Troubleshooting and Best Practices

  • Identify common issues in gas systems, such as compressor surging, pipeline slugging, and hydrate formation.
  • Learn best practices for maintenance and reliability of gas handling equipment.
  • Apply fundamental troubleshooting techniques for gas flow disruptions and pressure control issues.
