Carbon Dioxide Compression
This 2-day course using dynamic simulation models to give a practical introduction to carbon dioxide, its application, its characteristics, and its carbon capturing technology. The principles of gas compression when C02 is the process medium, the selection of correct type of compressor, the design of the compressor, how performance of the compressor is controlled and more.
Suitable for: personnel at all levels of responsibility and authority within engineering and operations functions. The primary objective of the course is to introduce the technology and functional design of carbon dioxide compression systems to those who have had limited exposure to such compression systems but who by virtue of a new project or responsibility, need to update their knowledge and familiarity. This course will also offer a comprehensive study of the subject for those who may have had only limited first hand compressor operation experience.
