Details :
The removal of acidic
components (primarily H2S and CO2) from hydrocarbon streams can be broadly
categorized as those depending on chemical reaction, or adsorption. Processes
employing each of these techniques are described. The principle process stream is
the removal of the acid gases by counter flowing contact with an amine
solution, commonly known as Amine Gas Sweetening. The acidic
components removed are termed acid gas streams (containing H2S,) and may be
flared, incinerated, or converted to elemental Sulphur in a Sulphur Recovery
Unit. Various Sulphur Recovery processes (primarily The Modified Claus Process)
are discussed.
A significant fraction of
the natural gas produced today contains acid gases--primarily hydrogen sulfide
(H2S) and carbon dioxide (CO2) in sufficiently high
concentrations as to be considered sub quality. These contaminants must be
removed for the gas to be safely and economically utilized. This Amine Gas
Sweetening & Sulphur Recovery training course is designed for delegates as
a single source of information on:
- The
identity and characteristics of the waste streams produced by the major
gas sweetening and sulfur recovery processes
- The
possible effects of process chemistry and the nature of the gas being
treated on waste characteristics
- Currently
available options for waste stream disposition; and
- The
effects of environmental regulations, both current and foreseeable, on
waste stream disposition
By the end of this training
course, participants will be able to:
- Demonstrate
an understanding of Amine sweetening and Sulphur Recovery technologies
- Grasp an
explanation of the key features of gas treating
- Discuss
the thermodynamics of gas processing
- Identify
the main process steps
- Evaluate,
monitor, and troubleshoot gas treating operations
