Measurement Of Hydrocarbons: Best Practices Course
Introduction:
The majority of hydrocarbons found naturally occur in crude oil, where decomposed organic matter provides an abundance of carbon and hydrogen, which, when bonded, can catenate to form seemingly limitless chains.
This course details the gas chromatography separation of saturated and unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon compounds, low-boiling aromatic hydrocarbon compounds, gasoline and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon compounds
Course Objectives:
Measurement Of Hydrocarbons: Best Practices training course:
- Teaches theory, installation, operation, and proving practices of mass measurement of light hydrocarbon fluids, including mixes and spec grade natural gas liquids.
- Provides instruction in meter proving and calculation of meter factors for meters in high vapor pressure service (e.g., propane or mixed NGLs).
- Provides instruction and simulation/demonstration of densitometer proving by pycnometer and overview of pycnometer calibration.
- Demonstrates proper procedures, emphasizes safe practices and provides instruction in calculating volumes of liquids at base conditions of single-grade light hydrocarbons from measured NGL mixes. Emphasis is placed upon proper procedures and safe practices.
