Gas Dehydration and Glycol Regeneration

Gas Dehydration and Glycol Regeneration

Jayakarta Hotel, Bandung | Aug 2-4, 2010 | Rp.5.250.000,-per participant

 

INTRODUCION

Gas Conditioning refers to the steps taken to prepare gas for transportation, sales or further processing - such as recovery of natural gas liquids or chemical feed. This fundamental session deals with dehydration and hydrate prevention. Natural gas as produced normally contains water vapor. Water must be removed to a typical point of achieving a content of 7 lb/MMSCF for US transmission systems

The removal of water, or dehydration, is done to prevent hydrate formation (and potential plugging) or corrosion in the gas gathering, transmission system, or processing plant.

 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

* Describe the activities associated with monitoring and regulating the dehydration process.
* Describe the activities associated with maintaining dehydration process performance.
* Describe the dehydration process maintenance activities performed by the production technician.
* Explain the typical malfunctions associated with dehydration systems.
* Discuss the safety systems associated with the dehydration proces

GAS DEHYDRATION AND GLYCOL REGENERATION

GAS DEHYDRATION AND GLYCOL REGENERATION

Hyatt Regency Hotel, Bandung, Indonesia | April 13-16, 2010 | US$ 990,-/participant

 

Course Description

The natural gas industry has recognized that dehydration is necessary to ensure smooth operation of gas transmission lines. Dehydration prevents the formation of gas hydrates and reduces corrosion. Unless gases are dehydrated, liquid water may condense in pipelines and accumulate at low points along the line, reducing its flow capacity. Therefore, the removal of the water that is associated with natural gases in vapor form is one critical step in gas processing scheme. Several methods have been developed to dehydrate gases on an industrial scale. The three major methods are: direct cooling, adsorption and absorption. Glycol and methanol injection, glycol dehydration contactor, and glycol regeneration are important issues in gas production operations.

 

Course Highlights

• Overview of the Production of Transportable and Salable Gas


• Legal and Safety Requirements in Gas Fuel Market


• Reservoir Fluid Type and the Hydrocarbon PVT Diagram


• Prevention of Hydrate Formation and the Dehydration Processes


• Hydrate Inhibitor and the Methanol and Glycol Injection


• Injection System and the Low Temperature Separation


• Dehydration in Contactor Column and Glycol Regeneration


• Contactor and Regenerator Plant Operation and Controls


• Glycol Conditioning and Glycol Losses Control


• Plant Maintenance and Troubleshooting

 

Training Method, Materials and Program

• The course will be delivered in the form of classroom exposition, case studies and open discussion. Course materials will be handed out as hard and soft copy.


• The course will be given in Bahasa Indonesia.  In special case, upon request, it will be in English.


• Actual field problems, which are about to bring to the course, will be presented and discussed in the class and shared to find recommendation as a specific solution. All participant documents should be treated as confidential.
