LNG plants and other petrochemical plants are built to bring a return on investment to their investors through their safe operation. Their designers and engineer-led operators require technical knowledge to ensure these facilities are safe and reliable. This course series gives you that knowledge.
This training covers LNG technologies at both a technical and human resource development level. This training is needed to help you design, operate, or maintain an LNG facility; however, many LNG topics can also apply to other petrochemical plants. This training is intended to present technical materials to help develop a clear understanding of an LNG facility's safe and efficient operation. It is intended to give the learner the intermediate technical knowledge needed to make informed planning, maintenance, and operating decisions to ensure plant safety, reliability, and efficiency. The most crucial intention of this training is to give you technical knowledge on how to continue making the liquid natural gas industry safe and reliable.
This is the fifth and sixth in a series of ten progressively more in-depth courses on Liquefied Natural Gas. In the ten lesson series, more detail will be given on the operation of an LNG plant, refrigeration systems for liquefying, and the thermodynamics involved in producing, storing, transporting, and re-vaporizing LNG.
For this intermediate-level course series, the learner must have a basic knowledge of LNG and its uses.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Explain the critical impact of feed gas composition on an LNG plant siting decision.
- Describe the need for proximity to gas pipelines for rejecting BOG and regeneration gas and for producing sendout gas.
- Explain the cost and schedule impacts of easements.
- Identify sendout interchangeability considerations that affect siting decisions.
- Explain the importance of public and government acceptance of an LNG plant.
- Describe future changes that could affect site suitability.
- Identify required and desired buffer zones.
- Explain zoning, environmental, airport proximity, school proximity, and seismic considerations.
- Describe workforce considerations for LNG plant siting.
- Explain the vaporization process.
- Interpret LNG pump curves.
- Explain the importance of vaporization reliability.
- Identify concerns associated with vaporization.
- Describe how quickly a plant can transition into vaporization mode.
- Explain vaporization capacity constraints.
- Describe maintenance requirements for vaporization equipment.
- Identify single-point failure modes that can shut down all vaporization.
Video on Demand
This course is a recorded version of a live lecture and will be streamed directly to your computer's media player. Our format is generally compatible with media players included with all computers and mobile devices. After watching the video presentation, you will return to your account to take the online quiz. While this is a recording of a live presentation, please note that this recording will not qualify as a "live" or "interactive" continuing education activity in those jurisdictions where it is required.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 20 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
