Oil and Gas Processing

CHEN60202 Oil and Gas Processing 15 Semester 2 Postgraduate Taught Level 6 Maryam Malekshahian Unit coordinator Nan Zhang Unit coordinator 1 FHEQ level (Framework for Higher Education Qualifications) ' Masters/Integrated Masters P4 ' European Credit Transfer & Accumulation System Rating : 7.5 The course starts by examining crude oil and natural gas properties. Refinery product properties are then examined. Petroleum refining requires special techniques for the representation of physical properties and process calculations. These will be developed before turning attention to refinery processes. For each process, the physical principles, chemistry and process flowsheets will be studied. Refineries need various supporting processes that will be reviewed. Systematic methods for hydrogen integration will be introduced. Then the integration of these processes to achieve different refining objectives is addressed.For natural gas processing, the exploitation of the gas requires the gas to be transported to the market by pipelines or liquefaction. Alternatively, the gas can be transformed chemically to liquid fuels or converted to power. The module will give particular emphasis to the exploitation by liquefaction. Course ContentsIntroductionLecture 1         Crude Oil and Natural Gas Petroleum Refinery ProcessesLecture 2         Bulk Properties of Refinery StreamsLecture 3         Modelling Physical Properties of Refinery StreamsLecture 4         Refinery Liquid Fuel ProductsLecture 5         Crude Oil DistillationLecture 6         Heat Integration of Crude Oil DistillationLecture 7         Catalytic CrackingLecture 8          Residue ReductionLecture 9          Octane ProcessesLecture 10       HydroprocessingLecture 11       Hydrogen Supply Petroleum Refinery IntegrationLecture 12       Hydrogen IntegrationLecture 13       Sulphur RecoveryLecture 14       Refinery Integration Gas ProcessingLecture 15       Compression and Expansion of GasesLecture 16       Refrigeration ProcessesLecture 17       Liquefied Natural Gas Cycles ConclusionsLecture 18       The Future of Oil and Gas Processing  <div> The course starts by examining crude oil and natural gas properties.
