CfPA - The Center for Professional Advancement, 90 Minute Accredited Online Training
April 24, 2012 at 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. (ET)
Who Should Attend
This course is designed for professionals in natural gas, environmental, energy, petroleum, petrochemical, governmental, and chemical processing areas. Although not limited to these, some typical job functions that would benefit from this course include:
• Process Engineers
• Project and Plant Engineers (all disciplines)
• Process Chemists
• Environmental/Energy Auditors
• Engineering Educators
• Township Engineers and Municipal Officers
• News Media (Print, TV, Radio, Internet) Covering
Greenhouse Gas Issues
• Utility and Petrochemical Plant Managers Description
Recovery and sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO2) is being considered for a wide variety of purposes from greenhouse gas reduction to clean coal usage to carbon management on spacecraft. Historically, CO2 recovery processes have been designed and operated for power plant flue gas, for off gas from fermentation and anaerobic digesters, for the effluent from natural gas sweetening processes, for synthesis gas used in hydrogen manufacture, and from dry-frac operations in natural gas recovery among others. In this seminar an overview of the different technologies and their applications are considered, including a discussion of the Sabatier reaction for the conversion of carbon dioxide back into methane. Processing, operating details and a summary of the economic performance of the various technologies are presented. It will be demonstrated how the economic performance will depend on the economies of scale, national and local legislation, and the CO2 source.
This 90-minute accredited training will provide an overview of the theoretical and experimental approaches to carbon dioxide recovery and sequestration. This training will include opportunities for learning assessment.
