LNG: Basics of Liquefied Natural Gas
3.3 CEUs
Provides comprehensive instruction about all facets of the LNG industry. The focus of this course is to present a thorough understanding of LNG liquefaction and regasification facility operations from the process side and the reasons for the rapid expansion and evolution of the industry. This course also addresses the three major building links of the LNG chain: the liquefaction plant, transport ships and the receiving terminal. Included are overviews of the major equipment specific to the LNG industry and the supporting plant operations such as pretreatment, natural gas liquids (NGL) recovery, and nitrogen rejection. Additionally, safety, security and environmental issues related to the LNG industry and the special features associated with offshore designs are covered. Participants receive handouts and a PETEX book—LNG: Basics of Liquefied Natural Gas.
Length: 4½ days
