Amine Gas Sweetening & Sulphur Recovery
Course Description
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 utilised. This BTS 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

Target Audience

This BTS training course is specifically designed to be of substantial benefit to personnel within the Oil and Gas Industries such as:

  • Technologists
  • Mechanical Engineers
  • Inspection Engineers
  • Maintenance or Project Engineers
  • Operations Personnel

It is designed for both technical and non-technical personnel as well as operational staff at professional level employed in refineries, petrochemical, and oil and gas process industries.

It will serve as an introduction to acid gas removal and Sulphur recovery technology for those who are unfamiliar with the subject and will also assist those who need the ability to progress to a detailed knowledge of the gas processing technologies.

Training Methods

This BTS training course will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented.  Amine Gas Sweetening and Sulphur Recovery is a hands-on, stimulating learning experience. The training course will be highly interactive, with opportunities to advance your opinions and ideas. Participation is encouraged in a supportive environment.

To ensure the concepts introduced during the training course are understood, they will be reinforced through a mix of learning methods, including lecture style presentation, open discussion, case studies, simulations and group work.
