LNG Facilities for Operations & Maintenance - OT-43

May 30, 2014

This is a five-day LNG-industry version of our popular OT-3 Gas Production / Processing for Operations and Maintenance course with expanded coverage on refrigeration, liquefaction, and utilities. The course includes in-depth information on basic LNG mixed refrigerant processing. Instructors will explain contaminant removal processes employed in LNG processes. Relevant details of the APCI process in LNG liquefaction are described. Class exercises/problems focus on application of theory to operational trends so operators can understand their processes and become proficient at identifying issues and troubleshooting problems before production suffers. Course content is customizable to client needs.
