Amine Gas Sweetening and Sulphur Recovery 894267 Why Choose this Training Course?The removal of acidic components (primarily H2S and CO2) from hydrocarbon streams can be broadly categorized as those depending on chemical reaction, or adsorption. Processes employing each of these techniques are described. The principle process stream is the removal of the acid gases by counter flowing contact with an amine solution, commonly known as Amine Gas Sweetening. The acidic components removed are termed acid gas streams (containing H2S,) and may be flared, incinerated, or converted to elemental Sulphur in a Sulphur Recovery Unit. Various Sulphur Recovery processes (primarily The Modified Claus Process) are discussed.A significant fraction of the natural gas produced today contains acid gases--primarily hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and carbon dioxide (CO2) in sufficiently high concentrations as to be considered subquality. These contaminants must be removed for the gas to be safely and economically utilised. The Amine Gas Sweetening & Sulphur Recovery course is designed for delegates as a single source of information on:The identity and characteristics of the waste streams produced by the major gas sweetening and sulfur recovery processesThe possible effects of process chemistry and the nature of the gas being treated on waste characteristicsCurrently available options for waste stream dispositionThe effects of environmental regulations, both current and foreseeable, on waste stream dispositionThis Oxford training course will feature:Understanding of Amine Gas Processing Units’ operating and maintenance techniquesFamiliarization of Sulphur Recovery process operating and design considerationsUnderstand common operational problems and their troubleshootingAbility to put in place measures to maximize efficient operationImprove process optimization techniquesInterface with other gas processing unitsWhat are the Goals?By the end of this Oxford training course, participants will be able to:Demonstrate an understanding of Amine sweetening and Sulphur Recovery technologiesGrasp an explanation of the key features of gas treatingDiscuss the thermodynamics of gas processingIdentify the main process stepsEvaluate, monitor and troubleshoot gas treating operationsWho is this Training Course for?The course is specifically designed to be of substantial benefit to personnel within the Oil and Gas Industries such as:TechnologistsMechanical EngineersInspection EngineersMaintenance or Project EngineersOperations PersonnelIt is designed for both technical and non-technical personnel as well as operational staff at professional level employed in refineries, petrochemical and oil and gas process industries.It will serve as an introduction to acid gas removal and Sulphur recovery technology for those who are unfamiliar with the subject and will also assist those who need the ability to progress to a detailed knowledge of the gas processing technologies.How will this Training Course be Presented?This Oxford training course will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented.
