Training Course Overview
Natural gas is often regarded as producing fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to other fossil fuels. As a result, it has been promoted as the preferred energy source by many countries and is seen as a transitional fuel until renewable energy sources can fully replace fossil fuels. Due to its widespread availability and varied composition, natural gas often requires treatment to meet specific standards.
The Amine Gas Sweetening and Sulphur Recovery Training Course is designed to provide attendees with a comprehensive understanding of the current methods used to remove acidic and other contaminants (primarily H2S and CO2, as well as water vapor, mercury, nitrogen, and argon) from hydrocarbon streams.
This training course will focus on Sulphur Recovery Processes, offering an in-depth look at the chemical constraints of the Claus Unit and its subsequent modifications, such as the Super Claus and Euroclaus systems. The course will conclude with a review of various tail gas treatment techniques, including Shell’s SCOT and Thiopaq processes.
This training course will feature:
- Understanding of Amine Gas Processing Units’ operating and maintenance techniques
- Familiarization of Sulphur Recovery process operating and design considerations
- Understand common operational problems and their troubleshooting
- Ability to put in place measures to maximize efficient operation
- Improve process optimization techniques
- Interface with other gas processing units
Training Course Objectives
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Gain a thorough Understanding of Amine Sweetening and Sulphur Recovery Technologies
- Grasp an Explanation of the Key Features of Gas Treating
- Understand the Limitations Imposed by Gas Processing Thermodynamics
- Distinguish the Main Criteria in Process Design
- Evaluate, Monitor, and Troubleshoot Gas Treating and Sulphur Recovery Operations
Designed for
The training course is specifically designed to be of substantial benefit to personnel within the Oil and Gas Industries such as:
- Technologists
- Mechanical engineers
- Inspection engineers
- Maintenance or project engineers
- Operations personnel
It is designed for both technical and non-technical personnel as well as operational staff at professional level employed in refineries, petrochemical, and oil and gas process industries.
It will serve as an introduction to acid gas removal and sulphur recovery technology for those who are unfamiliar with the subject and will also assist those who need the ability to progress to a detailed knowledge of the gas processing technologies.
Learning Methods
