DURATION

5 Days

DESIGNED FOR

Engineers who desire an intensive review of natural gas processing and associated liquids recovery processes. A basic working knowledge of the commercial process simulation package being used will provide the best opportunity to achieve the learning objectives of this course.

YOU WIL LEARN

  • To determine the water content and hydrate formation conditions for gas streams using both a commercial process simulator and hand calculation methods.

  • Techniques to inhibit hydrate formation including injection of equilibrium inhibitors such as methanol and MEG.

  • To simulate TEG dehydration processes and evaluate the simulator results by using quick hand calculations.

  • To evaluate processes used to control the hydrocarbon dew point of sales gas streams by removing NGL’s using mechanical refrigeration processes.

  • Various techniques of reducing the power requirement and equipment sizes of refrigeration systems.

  • To use the process simulator to evaluate the impact that pressure and temperature changes have on the sizing of process equipment.

  • To use short-cut distillation calculations to provide input to rigorous distillation simulations in order to obtain consistent convergence.

  • Which thermodynamic property correlations are the best applications for various gas processing systems.

  • To understand the limitations associated with commercial simulation packages and knows how the simulation results can be quickly checked for relative accuracy.

ABOUT THE COURSE

The course has been designed to cover G-4 topics in an accelerated 5-day format using a commercial simulator to perform calculations. Volumes 1 and 2 of the John M. Campbell text books, Gas Conditioning and Processing are used as the basis for the material presented in this course. A comprehensive course exercise based on a typical gas processing facility which can be applied to either onshore or offshore facilities is used for this course. The problem is developed in stages as the material is covered using the commercial simulator package HYSYS®. At the completion of the course the participant will have a process simulation that includes a dew point control process, a mechanical refrigeration process with economizers, hydrate inhibition using MEG, gas dehydration using TEG, and liquid product stabilization with recycle.
