Aerial Coolers in Gas Processing – Advanced Operations
Event Date/Time: Feb 01, 2011 | End Date/Time: Feb 01, 2011 |
Description
This full day course runs consecutively with “Aerial Coolers – The Basics†and continues to discuss field-testing; trouble shooting; optimizing and de-bottlenecking existing facilities. The corrective treatment of air-side and process-side controlled units is discussed along with best retrofits for each type. New developments in fan-less coolers are also discussed. This course will likely be of interest to Senior Project and Operations Engineers; Senior Operators and Process Engineers.
A complete set of course materials and lunch is included in this course.
*Participants should bring a laptop to the course if possible – as some workgroup examples will consist of running handout software.*
