Natural Gas Processing, Gas Sweetening and Sulphur Recovery

20-05-2024 - 24-05-2024 3800 Dubai

 

Course Introduction:

 

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. Special design and operation topics such as trace sulfur compound handling and the importance of H2S:CO2 ratio is covered. Related topics such as liquid product treating, corrosion, materials selection and NACE requirements will also be reviewed.

 

 

Course Objectives:

 

Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:

ü  Evaluation and selection of processes to remove acid gases (H2S, CO2, COS, CS2, mercaptans, etc) from gas and NGLs

ü  The advantages and disadvantages of available gas treating technology and processes

ü  How to estimate solvent circulation rates, energy requirements and equipment sizes

ü  Recognize and evaluate solutions to common problems

ü  Sulfur recovery technologies, including an overview of the Claus Sulfur process

ü  How to select the proper sulfur recovery process given differing process conditions

 

 

Who Should Attend?

 

This course is intended for all production and processing personnel involved with natural gas treating and sulfur recovery requiring an understanding of the principles of these process operations. This course is for facilities engineers, process engineers, operations personnel, field supervisors and others who select, design, install, evaluate or operate gas sweetening and sulfur recovery facilities.
