Course Content
NATURAL GAS
-
Duration : 1 Day
Natural gas reserves, conventional or non-conventional.
Production, consumption and trade, utilization of natural gas worldwide.
Field treatment, production and by-products (ethane, LPG’s, condensates).
Different ways for gas transportation: pipelines, LNG shipping…
Quality specifications for commercial natural gas.
Valorization of natural gas: as fuel (domestic or industrial uses), generation of other energy types (electrical, cogeneration), car-fuel (CNG, GTL), chemical valorization.
SYNGAS PRODUCTION
-
Duration : 1 Day
Composition and feedstocks (natural gas, hydrocarbons, coal).
Different modes of syngas production: steam reforming, partial oxidation (POx), autothermal reforming.
Gas production from biomass: advantages, yields, constraints. Example of a biorefinery.
SYNGAS VALORIZATION
-
Duration : 0.5 Day
Maximization of hydrogen production in the refineries through the shift reaction.
Chemical synthesis: production of alcohol like Methanol, Ammonia and other chemical compounds.
GTL Complex (Gas-To-Liquid): production of liquid hydrocarbons from gas through Fischer Tropsch reaction.
Coal gasification.
Electrical energy production, steam and hydrogen for refining industry: IGCC (Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle).
ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF GAS VALORIZATION
-
Duration : 0.5 Day
Investment (Capex), operating costs (Opex), costs for raw materials.
Marketing advantages, environment issues.
Example: comparison of GTL with LNG.
Strategies of different actors: production countries of natural gas, licensers, oil or gas trusts, engineering companies.
