Control & Operation of Centrifugal Gas Compressors

This hands-on, three-day course uses dynamic simulation models to give a practical introduction to centrifugal gas compressors and their operation in process plants. The practical exercises and workshops will use dynamic simulation models of compression systems running on PCs. They will be easy to use and the participants will require no prior knowledge of dynamic simulation.

Description

Key topics covered in the course include compressor performance and selection, instrumentation and control, surge protection and compressor operation. Case studies will be used and participants will be encouraged to solve problems for themselves.

Key Topics Covered:

  • Compression Principles
  • Process & Control Description
  • Compressor Operations
  • Mechanical Design - Centrifugal Compressors
  • Instrumentation & Control
  • Simple Anti-Surge Control
  • Recycle Valve Sizing
  • Compressor Protection & Complex Anti-Surge Control
