Advanced separation course


Intended for:

Process engineers, facility operations engineers and managers who require more in-depth knowledge and understanding of the intricacies of separation equipment design and operation.

Relevance:

There are various area's where the knowledge gained from this course is invaluable:
During FEED and detailed design stage of a new build project, the knowledge allows process engineers to prepare more reliable and more optimised designs.
Process engineers and managers will have in-depth knowledge that enables them to evaluate subsupplier designs in more detail, thus creating a well founded basis for selection.
Process / facilities / production engineers commonly face the challenge of troubleshooting or otherwise evaluating the performance of vessels that are in operation. With the knowledge gained from this course, the engineer will be able to assess the performance in greater detail and hence be able to pin-point areas of improvement.

What you will learn:

Standard elements of the course include:


• Impact of inlet piping size and subsequent flow regimes on the performance of the vessel.
• About the performance characteristics of various types of inlet devices.
• About the separation performance capabilities of various type of demisting equipment.
• Understand liquid-liquid separation.
• The importance of gas and liquid flow distribution.
• How to size separation equipment (slug catchers, 2-phase and 3-phase separators, scrubbers, flare drums) and select suitable separation internals using the knowledge gained from the previous items above.
• How to assess performance and troubleshoot/debottleneck existing separation equipment that is in operation.


The course can be tailored to suit your requirements and specific areas of interest.

Duration:

The duration of the course is 4 days. This can be adjusted in line with your needs with respect to the contents of the course.

Method:

Besides the training presentations there will be exercises throughout the course. All participants will receive course material that can also be used for future reference.
