Course Description
At the end of this course, the students should be able to:
1. explain some of the basic thermodynamic concepts used in gas processing;
2. discuss the concept of fractional distillation and other distillation processing;
3. describe the mechanism and technology of absorption and adsorption in the processing of
natural gas (industrial processes); and
4. discuss the concepts of gas purification and odourisation.
Course Outline
