This is the LNG-industry version of our popular G-4 course with expanded coverage on refrigeration. The course includes in-depth information on basic LNG gas conditioning and processing. Instructors will explain the acid gas removal processes (various amines, hot carbonate, Sulfinol, etc.) employed in LNG processes. Relevant details of both the mixed refrigerant and cascade processes in LNG liquefaction are described. Versions of this course have been taught in many of the world's base-load and peak-shaving LNG plants.
Personnel involved with natural gas processing and LNG production, as well as anyone interested in a solid understanding of the principles of an LNG plant.
You will Learn:
- The basics of LNG gas conditioning and processing
- To select and evaluate processes used to dehydrate natural gas, remove heavy components and other contaminants, and to extract NGLs for LNG plants
- Physical/thermodynamic property correlations and principles, including heating values, etc. as applied to gas processing facilities and LNG plants
- Fundamentals of propane and propane pre-cooled, mixed refrigerant systems used in LNG plants
- Key points in other LNG liquefaction technologies
- How to perform and review equipment sizing for major process equipment
- Solutions to operating problems and control issues in
- LNG and gas processing facilities
