Engineering and TechnicalGas Processing and LNG Plant Operations
A three day intensive covering the natural gas processing train from wellhead gas through to sales gas specification and LNG export. Delegates work through acid gas removal and sweetening, dehydration and mercury removal, natural gas liquids recovery and fractionation, and the liquefaction cycles behind LNG production. Cryogenic handling receives its own treatment, because the hazards of LNG storage and loading differ from anything else on a gas plant and are unforgiving of assumptions carried over from warmer service. The course closes on assessing plant performance against product specification, and is structured for engineers and operators supporting gas monetisation projects moving from associated gas flaring toward domestic and export processing across East and West Africa.
