Gas Conditioning and Processing LNG Emphasis - G-4 LNG


DURATION
10 Days
DESIGNED FOR
Personnel involved with natural gas processing and LNG production, as well as anyone interested in a solid technical 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, propane pre-cooled, mixed refrigerants, and cascade 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
ABOUT THE COURSE
This is the LNG-industry version of our popular G-4 course with expanded coverage on refrigeration and LNG technologies. The course includes in-depth information on basic LNG gas conditioning and processing. In addition, instructors will explain the LNG supply chain that consists of four main links - natural gas exploration and production, liquefaction, shipping, receiving, and distribution. The course covers relevant details of both the mixed refrigerant (APCI) and cascade (ConocoPhillips) processes in LNG liquefaction. New liquefaction processes are addressed, such as mixed fluid cascade and dual nitrogen refrigeration cycles. Versions of this course have been taught in many of the world’s base-load and peak-shaving LNG plants such as Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Norway, Qatar, UK, and West Indies.
