Nitrogen Production

Introduction

  • Nitrogen Unit is designed to generate both liquid and gaseous nitrogen by the cryogenic distillation of air.
  • The purpose of the Nitrogen Unit is to provide sufficient gaseous nitrogen to various units within the LNG facility to maintain operations.
  • The gaseous nitrogen (GAN) is supplied to the nitrogen distribution system within the LNG facility for operational requirements and the liquid (LIN) is transferred to storage tank. The LIN can be vaporized as required to support the supply of GAN to the distribution system.
  • The plant can be defined into the following areas:
  • Blanket gas to storage tanks.
  • Blanket gas to expansion tanks.
  • Seal gas to the compressors.
  • Flare system stack and header purges
  • Pump purges
  • Instrument and electrical cable seal purges.
  • In addition to these users the nitrogen system is designed to provide inserting gas for start-up/shutdown maintenance activities for single pieces of equipment or complete units. Any shortfall of nitrogen from the duty nitrogen generator is supplemented from liquid nitrogen storage via air vaporizer’s

Objectives

    Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:

    • Recognize the major equipment’s and their functions
    • Review the operating parameters of;
    • Warm End (W/E) Container
    • Cold box
    • Storage and Backup System
    • Learn how Nitrogen Generators Work.
    • Understand the Nitrogen Plant troubleshooting.
    • Recognize the Nitrogen uses, Nitrogen Hazards and MSDS

     

Training Methodology

The training methodology is interactive with group exercises and is suitable for all employees involved in process, maintenance and operations management. The pace and level of the training workshop is customized to the understanding of the delegates. Ongoing back-up and support is available after the training on request to the supplier, and the training course is also available for in-house presentation as well as for “Competency Transfer”.
