Intermediate Level LNG - Part 1 of 10
This engineering online CPD video presentation will present the technical knowledge required by designers and engineer-led operators to ensure LNG and other petrochemical plants operate safely and reliably. This course is Part 1 of a 10-Part series.
LNG plants and other petrochemical plants are built to bring a return on investment to their investors through their safe operation. This training covers LNG technologies at both a technical and human resource development level. It will help you design, operate, or maintain an LNG facility; however, many LNG topics can also apply to other petrochemical plants. This training is intended to present technical materials to help develop a clear understanding of an LNG facility's safe and efficient operation It is intended to give the learner the intermediate technical knowledge needed to make informed planning, maintenance, and operating decisions to ensure plant safety, reliability, and efficiency. The most crucial intention of this training is to give you technical knowledge on how to continue making the liquid natural gas industry safe and reliable.
Being the first in the 10-lecture series, this session presents some basics that must be known to understand the following lessons. It then starts the intermediate training with the following topics:
- The number and type of LNG plants in the United States.
- Where natural gas comes from, and what is fracking
- Why LNG and what are the components of natural gas and LNG
- Why is LNG used, and what are the charismatics of LNG
- LNG production feed-gas pre-treatment
- Some types of purging and how their effectiveness
- How adsorbents are used in an LNG liquefaction plant
- Cautions such as water hammers, rollover, fires, and asphyxiation
- LNG tank types – single, double, and full containment; nitrogen and BOG annular space filled.
- Tank sensitivity to barometer changes
This 1 CPD online video presentation is intended for engineers, designers, and technical personnel who are interested in learning about LNG.
The learning objectives of the complete 10 learning sessions are to understand, at an intermediate level, the following:
- How to safely, reliably, and efficiently operate an LNG plant
- General characteristics of LNG and safety
- Liquefaction pretreatment
- Liquefaction systems
- LNG tanks, valves, pumps, vaporizers, auxiliaries, and other LNG plant equipment
- BOG management and plant operations
- Transporting LNG
- Efficient operation of LNG facilities
- Importance of philosophies, procedures, maintenance, and modes of operation.
- Understanding the thermodynamic relationship that governs the behavior of zeotropic hydrocarbons.
This Part 1 of 10 session is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Learning about the number and type of LNG plants in the United States.
- Understanding where natural gas comes from, and what is fracking
- Familiarizing with LNG and the components of natural gas and LNG
- Understanding LNG production feed-gas pre-treatment
- Learning about some types of purging and their effectiveness
- Learning about how adsorbents are used in an LNG liquefaction plant
- Understanding cautions such as water hammers, rollover, fires, and asphyxiation
- Learning about different LNG tank types – single, double, and full containment; nitrogen and BOG annular space filled.
- Understanding tank sensitivity to barometer changes
