LNG & Gas: An Operator's Guide Thermodynamics Guide

Who Will Benefit:

LNG plant technicians, including operators and electrical, instrument, and maintenance personnel
Gas engineers and plant managers
Anyone who wants to improve job performance by understanding the physics of what’s happening in a plant under his or her control

Description:

This useful 94-page manual was written by Steven A. Vitale, Ph.D., in cooperation with GTI. It provides an understanding of gas and LNG processes and doesn’t require any prerequisite courses or knowledge of higher mathematics.“Learning the basics about the gas we distribute helps employees make better technical and managerial decisions.” So says author Vitale, who has used the information in this publication to teach basic and advanced LNG courses.

This publication is available as a pdf that can be downloaded (recommended for quick access and no shipping fees); as a CD, or as a spiral-bound hard copy.

Contents Include:

The Guide’s purpose is to develop a method of thinking about thermodynamic processes, based on the use of a Pressure-Enthalpy diagram as an everyday process estimating tool. Once you understand thermodynamic processes, you can explore the use of these principles for LNG production, refrigeration, and power production. The Guide concludes with a total review of an open expansion LNG plant using simplified thermodynamic principles. It includes problems for self-testing and it can also be used as a teaching manual. Understanding the material in the Guide will help technicians—

Operate the plant more efficiently
Troubleshoot plant operations
Respond to emergencies and plant anomalies with additional knowledge resources
Suggest plant improvements or new business opportunities.
