Introduction

Natural gas dehydration is a critical process in the oil and gas industry to remove water vapor from gas streams. Effective dehydration ensures the prevention of pipeline corrosion, hydrate formation, and flow assurance challenges, while maintaining product quality and operational safety. A well-designed gas dehydration system is essential to meet the demands of modern gas processing facilities, particularly in environments where temperature, pressure, and flow conditions vary significantly.

 

The "Gas Dehydration System Design" course is a comprehensive 5-day program aimed at equipping participants with the technical knowledge and skills required to design, operate, and optimize gas dehydration systems. Participants will explore various dehydration technologies, including glycol-based systems, molecular sieve units, and emerging membrane methods, while addressing operational challenges and environmental considerations.

Objective

By the end of the course, participants will be able to understand

  • Provide a solid foundation in the principles and technologies of gas dehydration.
  • Develop expertise in designing and sizing absorption and adsorption systems.
  • Explore optimization strategies for energy efficiency and environmental compliance.
  • Enhance problem-solving and troubleshooting skills for operational challenges.
  • Introduce the latest advancements in dehydration technology and automation.
Audience

This course is designed for:

  • Process and mechanical engineers.
  • Facility and project design engineers.
  • Operations and maintenance personnel.
  • Equipment and reliability engineers.
  • Professionals involved in gas processing, transmission, or storage operations.
