Gas Processing & Gas Conditioning

Introduction

Since its discovery, natural gas has become an indispensable fuel source throughout the world. Natural gas used by consumers is much different from the natural gas that is extracted from underground up to the wellhead. Gas processing and conditioning separates contaminants to make it suitable for use. The process and equipment varies widely depending on the desired specification and applications of gas. The knowledge on handling issues in gas processing and conditioning will determine the productivity, safety and profitability.

PROCLAD Academy’s Gas Processing & Gas Conditioning training course will cover the major technical aspects. This training course will provide participants with the knowledge and tools to determine the main properties of natural gas, separation, dehydration, sweetening, measuring and transportation. Emphasis on the plant and equipment design and operation will be addressed that will allow participants to identify key variables. All of this will result in an increase of the effectiveness of the personnel, reduction of operation costs, and optimization of the performance of gas processing and conditioning.

The key features of PROCLAD Academy’s Gas Processing & Gas Conditioning training course are:

• Assess various problems induced by unwanted elements in natural gas streams
