About this Training
This comprehensive 4-day course provides invaluable training on the processes used to treat natural gas and remove contaminants like acid gases (CO2 and H2S), mercury, BTEX, oxygen, nitrogen, and NORM. Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of the various solvent and non-solvent based treating processes, including chemical solvents (amines, hot potassium carbonate), physical solvents, hybrid solvents, membranes, cryogenics, solid beds, and scavengers. The course covers key selection criteria for choosing the most suitable treating process based on the gas composition and product specifications.
A major focus is sulphur recovery from acid gas removal, with detailed coverage of the Claus process, modified Claus, RedOx processes, and tail gas treating. Participants will learn about sulphur specifications, process flow schemes, circulation rates, and operational problems. For liquid treating, the course explores caustic wash, Merox, amines, and other methods to meet product specifications. The training is applicable to gas streams from associated gas, non-associated gas reservoirs, and other gas sources.
The course begins with an overview of natural gas properties, reservoir fluids, phase envelopes, production/processing, separation, dehydration, and hydrate prevention. This establishes the fundamentals before advancing into the various treating technologies. Real-world exercises are integrated throughout, providing hands-on practice in areas like separator conditions, solvent selection, circulation estimation, and treatment process planning.
With its combined emphasis on theory, design, and operations, this course equips technical professionals with a holistic understanding of gas treating and sulphur recovery. Highly experienced instructors share valuable insights gained from their extensive industry experience working with these processes. Participants will leave confidence in evaluating and selecting gas treatment solutions.
