An intensive professional development training course on
Amine Gas Sweetening and Sulphur Recovery
Chemistry and Troubleshooting of
Acid Gas Removal Processes
Why Choose Amine Gas Sweetening and Sulphur Recovery Training Course?
Natural Gas is considered to contribute less greenhouse gas emissions than other fossil fuels. It has therefore been touted to be the fuel of choice by nations and is considered to serve as a transition until renewable sources mature to the point that they can replace fossil fuels. The abundance of this fossil fuel and the diversity of its composition, requires that in many cases it has to be treated to meet a variety of specifications.
This Amine Gas Sweetening and Sulphur Recovery Training Course aims to equip the attending delegates with the knowledge of all the current processes used for the removal of acidic and other contaminants (primarily H2S and CO2 but also water vapor, mercury Nitrogen, Argon) from hydrocarbon streams.
This Amine Gas Sweetening and Sulphur Recovery Training Course will concentrate on Sulphur Recovery Processes including a thorough understanding of the chemical limitations of the Claus Unit and the modifications that have followed, including the Super Claus and Euroclaus. The course will conclude with an examination of the various tail gas treatment processes including Shell’s SCOT and Thiopaq.
This Amine Gas Sweetening and Sulphur Recovery training course will feature:
- Understanding of Amine Gas Processing Units’ operating and maintenance techniques
- Familiarization of Sulphur Recovery process operating and design considerations
- Understand common operational problems and their troubleshooting
- Ability to put in place measures to maximize efficient operation
- Improve process optimization techniques
- Interface with other gas processing units
What are the Goals?
By the end of This Amine Gas Sweetening and Sulphur Recovery training course, participants will be able to:
- Gain a thorough Understanding of Amine Sweetening and Sulphur Recovery Technologies
- Grasp an Explanation of the Key Features of Gas Treating
- Understand the Limitations Imposed by Gas Processing Thermodynamics
