INTRODUCTION
This course reviews the science behind separation, filtration, coalescing, activated carbon absorption in addition to other related technologies as well as their
applications in gas processing and refining industries. Attendees are able to better understand fundamental principles, equipment designs and modes of failure to assist in troubleshooting performance problems. Real cases will be reviewed and discussed.
This course is important for several reasons; Poor contamination control is the leading cause of process instability and losses, filtration and separation is often overlooked and poorly understood in many plants. Proper knowledge of separation systems is critical to plant performance. Lack of formal training across process industries leads to uninformed decision-making.
