It will provide practical knowledge on how to design a new compressor station or evaluate the design of an existing compressor station
Course Content
Participants will receive practical instruction that will enable them to:
- Make decisions related to the design of the main systems in a compressor station
- Solve related problems
- Ask the right questions when designing

- Choose what equipment goes with the chosen compression system
- Lay out major interconnecting piping
- Do calculations to size equipment
- Consider site-specific requirements for compressor station layout.
A team of industry subject matter experts will lead the class. A combination of lecture and hands-on, group exercises provide a valuable learning experience. Participants are placed in small teams, using a "game board" to work on various compressor station design scenarios.
The target audience for this workshop is engineers and technical people with 0-5 years industry experience.
