This program is customized for operators, engineers, or managers, whether designing, operating, or servicing the industry! Our technical program is founded on transferring our knowledge in the most realistic, practical, and effective manner possible. We will address various case studies to cover challenges in midstream facilities design and operation, inlet feed separation and condensate stabilization, amine treating, dehydration with glycols, contaminants removal by adsorption, cryogenic gas processing, natural gas dewpoint controlling, and NGL fractionation subjects. Attendees will also obtain practical information about concept studies, troubleshooting, debottlenecking, plant optimization, energy saving, carbon reduction, and how to reduce capital and operating costs.
