Course Summary
Natural gas goes through a huge process, from the refinery, valuing, and transportation to gas marketing and sale before reaching homes and businesses.
When dealing with the gas market, it’s essential to understand how gas is discovered and refined to remove contaminants such as h5S, CO2, helium, and nitrogen using chemical and physical processes to make it safe to use. This treatment can mean that the value of gas varies depending on its purity, which could affect how it is marketed and the people it sells to.
The origins of gases and their chemical characteristics determine the processes that gases must undergo to be suitable for use. Understanding these processes also helps when developing useful technologies and troubleshooting problems.
Waste products from gas purification can also be used in alternative ways. For example, H5S can be recovered and converted to Sulphur. These combined methodologies and their accompanying procedures can assist in making our planet greener for the future while also making a profit for those companies involved.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the gas treatment process and Sulphur recovery.
- Evaluate the technologies used during practical and chemical purification.
- Identify the main process features in treating gas and understand how they work together.
- Conduct a risk analysis to discover and troubleshoot problems.
- Develop a deeper understanding of the gas chemical process.
- Accurately forecast waste quantities and work on recycling.
- Discover marketing and sales methods associated with gas types and waste products.
- Create greener processes for gas treatment and utilise efficient and environmentally friendly treatment methods.
This course is suitable for anyone who aims to learn more about gas treatment processes and their environmental effects. It would be particularly beneficial for:
- People new to the gas industry
- Gas production and discovery staff
- Gar Treatment Personnel
- Environmental specialists
- Geologists
- Reservoir Engineers
- Operational Managers and Staff
- Sales and Marketing Executives
This course uses various practical and interactive learning methods to aid understanding. Participants will receive trainer-led presentations and participate in group discussions and workshops on the gas processing procedure.
It includes practical exercises using industry-proven tools and technologies to allow for group evaluation of processes and designing new and improved operations and facilities to aid environmental change.
