Purpose

To develop the highly specialized skills and knowledge in the areas of natural gas compressors & instrumentation.

This online course is structured for graduate engineers, new engineers and staff supervisors from the maintenance, process or operation department of refineries and petrochemical plants. etc. Natural Gas Compressors & Instrumentation (NGCI) Level 1 is structured to bridge the needed knowledge gap at beginner’s to intermediate level.

Training Mode : Online (Only)

Description

Natural gas compressors and instrumentation are important components of the natural gas industry. Compressors are used to increase the pressure of natural gas to transport it over long distances through pipelines, while instrumentation is used to monitor and control the flow of natural gas.

Compressors come in various sizes and types, including reciprocating compressors, rotary screw compressors, and centrifugal compressors. They are typically powered by electric motors, gas turbines, or engines, and can operate at different speeds and pressures depending on the requirements of the specific pipeline system.

Instrumentation plays a critical role in the safe and efficient operation of natural gas compressors and pipelines. Key instrumentation includes pressure sensors, temperature sensors, flow meters, control valves and safety systems.

Natural gas compressors and instrumentation play a critical role in the safe and efficient operation of the natural gas industry. Advances in technology continue to improve the performance and reliability of these systems, enabling operators to optimize their operations and improve the efficiency of natural gas transportation.

Natural Gas Compressors & Instrumentation (NGCI) Level 1 covers Types of Compressor, Application of Compressor, Cooling System, Surge and Anti-Surge Conditions, Controls and Instrumentation,Piping and Instrumentation Diagram, Advantage and Disadvantage of Types of Compressors, Compressor Data Sheet, Battery Limit and more.
