Natural Gas Process Plant Design

At the end of this course, the students should be able to: 1. develop energy and material balance for the flow sheets; 2. simulate the design of gathering facilities in which contactors, separators, heat exchangers and storage tanks may be needed; and 3. explain the need for determining the net pump suction head for pumps and the power requirement of gas compressors as they relate to the gathering facility.
