DURATION

5 Days

DESIGNED FOR

Production and senior plant operating personnel; facilities engineers with process responsibility; process contractor engineers

YOU WILL LEARN

• To evaluate and select processes to remove acid gases (H₂S CO₂ COS CS₂ mercaptans etc) from gas and NGLs

• To describe the available gas treating technology and processes; recognize advantages and disadvantages

• To estimate solvent circulation rates, energy requirements and equipment sizes

• To recognize and evaluate solutions to common problems

• To use Claus Sulfur process and other sulfur recovery technologies

ABOUT THE COURSE

This course emphasizes process selection, practical operating issues, technical fundamentals, and integration of the sweetening facilities into the overall scheme of gas processing. Sulfur recovery and tail gas processes are also covered including standard Claus configurations, SuperClaus®, EuroClaus®, SCOT® etc. During the course participants will use simple chemistry to discuss trace sulfur compounds and study the effect of H₂S:CO₂ ratio. Liquid product treating will be discussed. Corrosion and materials and NACE requirements will also be reviewed.
