Gas Transmission, Compression and Cooling

This course will give the participants all the information they need to understand for the engineering & operation of a gas transmission system. The focus of the course is to emphasize the practical side of gas transmission and handling, presenting many examples and problems rather focusing on the theoretical aspects.
This course will enable students to learn how to design gas transmission pipelines, add compressor stations to pipeline systems, the process design and engineering of gas compressors and gas coolers used on high pressure pipelines.
This course will benefit any engineer in any pipeline/gas transmission company, including engineers in system design & system operations. Gas controllers will also highly benefit from this course.
