This is Part 3 of a 9-part course series covering LNG Plant Components and Design. All modules are designed to be stand alone and can be completed in any sequence desired.
The objective of this course is to familiarize chemical and mechanical engineers with the various methods for pretreatment of LNG feed stock prior to liquefaction. It provides a technical explanation of the most common processes used to dehydrate and purify the feedstock. It also includes a brief review of pertinent topics in organic chemistry as a background into understanding the specific components found in natural gas.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify six methods used to pretreat natural gas feedstock.
- Explain which components must be removed from natural gas feedstock and why.
- Describe the most widely used types of molecular sieve media.
- Identify common misconceptions about molecular sieves.
- Explain the purpose and design features of an inlet gas filter/separator.
- Compare the Rectisol process and amine systems for gas sweetening, including their advantages, disadvantages, and potential issues.
- Describe the challenges and considerations involved in designing and maintaining pretreatment systems, including proper regeneration, equipment selection, and operational factors.
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.
