Processing and Conditioning
Course Outline
Day 1Gas Properties Natural gas properties
Water-hydrocarbon behavior
Effects of contaminants on NG properties
Hydrates
On day one, participants will learn about the different gas
properties. Special focus will be put on physical and chemical
natural gas properties. Gas quality and sell specification, ideal
and real gas, equations of state, and multicomponent systems will
be covered. The day will end with a discussion on water hydrocarbon
behavior, the effects of contaminants on the properties of the gas
natural, and hydrates deposition mechanism, control, and
remediation.
Day 2Gas Separation System Gas separation principles and
processes
Two and three phase separators
Design and operations criteria
Day two will cover gas separation including principles, types,
multistage processes, and condensate stabilization. The horizontal,
vertical, internals, troubleshooting of two and three phase
separators design and operation criteria will also be
discussed.
Day 3Gas Sweetening Process classification
Design and operation parameters and criteria
Typical operation problems and troubleshooting
On day three, the focus will be on gas sweetening. This will
include a discussion on process classifications, which will include
topics such as absorption, adsorption, direct conversion, and
membranes. Design and operation parameters and criteria will also
be covered. Amine plant general design criteria and procedures, as
well as typical operation problems and troubleshooting will also be
discussed.
Day 4Gas Dehydration Process classification
Theory and principles
Glycols vs. solid desiccants
Key operating parameters
Gas dehydration will be the main topic of day four. Participants
will learn about the process classification, dehydration theory and
principles, expansion refrigeration, and membranes. A comparison of
glycols versus solid desiccants will be discussed. Key operating
parameters for optimal operation and the most common operation
problems and possible solutions will also be covered.
Day 5Measurement, Transportation, and Technologies Gas
measurements
Transportation systems
New developments and emerging technology
Technological challenges for natural gas
On the last day, natural gas measurement, transportation and
technologies will be the main focus. Typical gas metering
transportation systems, field usage, and end use will be covered.
Participants will learn about new developments, emerging
technology, commercial issues, and technological challenges for
natural gas.
