Gasification Process Operations

This course is designed as a familiarization course to increase understanding of the gasification with CO₂ capture process. During the training, participants will startup and shutdown the simulated unit in an integrated manner and will be exposed to simple and complex unit malfunctions in the control room and in the field. Course objectives are as follows:

• Introduce trainees to gasification and CO₂ capture process systems and major components and how they dynamically interact
• Familiarize trainees with the Human Machine Interface (HMI) and plant control and how safe and efficient operation of the unit can be affected by plant problems
• Provide the trainees with hands-on operating experiences in plant operations using the HMI
• Increase trainee understanding of plant equipment and control processes and integrated operations of the plant

Trainees spend 40% of the time in the classroom and 60% of the time interacting with the Gasification with CO₂ Capture simulator.

Recommended participants:  Engineers, operations personnel, and managers from electric utilities, engineering & construction firms, and equipment vendors with interest in gasification-based plants, air separation units, syngas cleanup, and carbon capture and compression.
