FLNG Design and Technology Training Course

Introduction

The challenge of an LNG FPSO, is adapting the known onshore technologies to an offshore environment, with motion impacts affecting the process and offloading, as well as space limitations. This 5-day FLNG Design and Technology training course will guide the participant through all the phases of the project from concept design, construction and interfaces to commissioning, start-up and handover. This training course gives a valuable, detailed insight into Floating Liquid Natural Gas development encompassing technical complexities, key design issues, critical drivers and risks related to LNG FPSOs and FRSUs. This training course will arm the participant with a wealth of knowledge to help them advance their project.

This training course will feature:

  • The Design Drivers for the Overall Vessel, Topside, Hull and Mooring Systems
  • Liquefaction Technologies and Regasification and Offshore LNG Transfer Systems
  • Safety, Risk Assessment and Integration Aspects of LNG Production on a Floating Facility
  • Dynamic Process Simulation Examples
  • Selection Requirements for Equipment and Material
  • Interfaces and Commissioning

Objectives

    By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

    • Identify the Key Design Requirements for an FLNG
    • Recognize the Effects of the Ocean Environment on FLNG Design
    • Understand the Liquefaction and Regasification Technologies
    • Interpret Applicable Rules and Regulations, Industry Standards and Regulations and Environmental Considerations
    • Appreciate safety in Design and Operation

Training Methodology

This FLNG Design and Technology training course will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. The daily workshops will be highly interactive and participative. This involves regular discussion between both delegates and training course director. The training course will provide the participant with an in-depth knowledge through detailed information, real-life case studies, photos and video animation.
