Why Attend This Training Course?

The course covers the major technical aspects of gas processing and conditioning that are comprised by the natural gas business chain. The instructor will provides the knowledge and tools to determine the main properties of natural gas and technologies Gas separation, dehydration, sweetening, measurement and transportation are the major topic covered in this course. Emphasis on the plant and equipment design and operation will be addressed.

What Is The Training Course Methodology?

This training course methodology depends on enabling participants to interact and exchange experiences, explore their competencies and achieve their career aspirations, using forward-thinking training arts, such as theoretical lectures and/or open discussion to exchange opinions and experiences, scenarios, innovative thinking brainstorming. Participants will receive an agenda including training material as a reference, in addition to some extra notes and booklets.
