An intensive professional development training course on
Amine Treating and Sulfur Recovery Technology
Mastering Gas Treating Processes, Sulfur Recovery Systems, and Operational Excellence
Why Choose Amine Treating and Sulfur Recovery Technology Training Course?
Amine Treating and Sulfur Recovery Technology Training provides a clear, practical, and technical foundation for professionals involved in gas processing operations where the removal of hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) is essential for product quality, asset protection, and regulatory compliance. As environmental standards become increasingly stringent, the capability to design, operate, and optimise treating and sulfur recovery units has become a critical competency across refineries, gas plants, and petrochemical facilities.
This training course explains the core principles of amine treating—from absorption and regeneration chemistry to solvent selection, circulation strategies, and operating parameters that influence overall system performance. Participants will explore key challenges such as foaming, corrosion, degradation, and heat-stable salts, gaining practical insights into preventing and resolving operational disruptions.
The course also covers sulfur recovery technologies, with a detailed examination of the Claus process and its modifications, as well as tail gas treatment systems used to achieve high recovery efficiencies and meet environmental limits. Emphasis is placed on optimisation methods, troubleshooting approaches, equipment behaviour, and integration with upstream and downstream units.
By the end of the Amine Treating and Sulfur Recovery Technology Course, participants will have the skills and confidence to improve treating efficiency, enhance sulfur recovery performance, reduce emissions, and maintain consistent plant reliability.
