An intensive professional development training course on
Carbon Dioxide Surface Facilities
Why Choose Carbon Dioxide Surface Facilities Training Course?
Carbon dioxide surface facilities is a technically specialised discipline, and this training course gives professionals a structured, end-to-end understanding of how CO2 systems are designed, operated, and managed safely.
The training course covers the full CO2 surface facility scope — from properties and capture through to compression, dehydration, separation, and treatment.
Day 4 focuses on facility design and operation, covering design considerations, maintenance protocols, and performance optimisation in integrated surface environments.
Day 5 addresses emerging technologies in CO2 handling and storage, pipeline design and operation, and the safety and environmental considerations governing advanced CO2 applications.
Practical exercises run throughout every day, ensuring delegates can apply technical knowledge directly rather than engaging with it purely at a theoretical level.
What are the Goals?
This carbon dioxide surface facilities training course is designed to give delegates practical and technical capability across the full CO2 surface facility lifecycle from initial handling through to advanced pipeline and storage operations.
By the end of this training course, delegates will be able to:
- Understand CO2 properties and handling — Apply knowledge of CO2 properties to safe handling, capture, transport, and storage decisions.
- Select and operate compression equipment — Evaluate compressor types and apply dehydration techniques suited to CO2 service conditions.
- Apply separation and treatment methods — Select appropriate separation equipment and treatment techniques based on performance and operational requirements.
- Design and operate CO2 surface facilities — Apply design considerations and maintenance protocols to CO2 surface facility operation and performance optimisation.
- Analyse facility performance — Use performance analysis techniques across compression, separation, and facility operation to identify optimisation opportunities.
- Engage with emerging CO2 technologies — Evaluate new technologies in CO2 handling and storage and apply pipeline design and operation principles.
- Manage safety and environmental requirements — Apply safety and environmental considerations across all stages of CO2 surface facility operation.
