Description
The goal of the Gas Technology Series is to impart a broad understanding of the basic equipment and design concepts used in gas plants. It is intended for engineers just entering the gas processing or gas transmission field, newly employed technologists, and gas plant foremen with a technical background. It may also serve as a familiarization course to personnel engaged in process equipment manufacturing.
Active student participation is encouraged in each course through the use of practice problems and case studies. The courses are taught by several instructors from all aspects of the industry, including producing companies, service companies, consultants and the Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB).
This three-day course looks at the basic concepts and fundamentals of gas plant operations. This course is conducted primarily in the classroom, with equipment demonstrations at the Nisku campus to reinforce the topics addressed in class. Topics include physical and chemical properties, equilibrium, bubble and dew-point calculations, flash calculations, distillation and absorption, vessel sizing, tower performance and operation, dehydration and hydrate control.
