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
  • Manage a design project for a small station
  • 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.
