This five-day course, offered through our partnership with Enform, is designed for field or gas plant operators, engineers, technologists, or anyone looking to enhance their skills in gas plant operations. Classroom theory and hands-on training are combined so that the student learns to operate gas processing equipment at the Enform gas production training facility in Nisku. This facility is a fully-operational gas plant allowing hands-on training in field dehydration, gas sweetening, compression, mechanical refrigeration, pumps, metering and instrumentation, line heaters, SCADA and chemical injection.
