Course Overview:
Build the practical skills you need to design a single-unit compressor station during this 4.5 day program. This course enhances your understanding of the main systems in a single-unit compressor station and gives you the confidence to make effective design decisions. You will have experience laying out major interconnecting piping and performing calculations to size equipment. y the end of the course, you will—
- Learn to recognize a natural gas compressor station and categorize it as production, gathering, transmission, distribution, or processing
- Understand how the compression process integrates into the pipeline system to cause pressure and flow increases and decreases
- Review load and critical operations requirements
- Identify the major equipment in a compressor station based on an aerial photograph and describe their purpose, general function, and relative importance
- Explore the operations and design of gas quality control systems, with a focus on state-of-the-art technologies
Target Audience:
- Engineers who want to bridge the gap between formal schooling and gas industry technology
- Those with specialized experience who want to broaden and update their knowledge of gas distribution engineering
