Agenda 2019

Hosted by Amine Experts

The training courses from Amine Experts are internationally renowned for the value addition to any job function that includes operating, modifying, servicing or managing an amine plant. This training course provides a thorough grounding in amine operational theory and field troubleshooting of amine systems in terms of corrosion, foaming and meeting treated product specification. The amine treating course has been presented more than 300 times worldwide with more than 8000 engineers and operators benefitting from attendance. A condensed version of the course, normally lasting a full week, is offered at the Nitrogen + Syngas 2019 Conference in Berlin for the direct benefit of attendees. 
 
Amine plants are frequently used to remove CO2 from gas streams prior to ammonia synthesis (in addition to many other applications). The course will be of immediate benefit to Plant Engineers, Operational Supervisors, Operators, Designers, Chemical Vendors and Facility Managers.  Attendees from operating companies are recommended to bring relevant unit information like simplified EFD’s and current and historic plant operating data. During the morning session the fundamentals of amine treating for CO2 removal from gas streams will be taught, while the afternoon session will focus on prevalent operational challenges and their solutions. The course will be presented in an interactive format that allows for discussion with presenters and other attendees.

Who will benefit from attending?
• Plant Engineers
• Operational Supervisors
• Operators
• Designers
• Chemical Vendors
• Facility Managers

In about 75% of the major safety hazards in a urea plant a leak can occur whereby corrosive ammonium carbonate and toxic ammonia will be released. This has already led to at least 36 casualties and 198 people injured. In nearly 90% of these incidents, the leak occurred suddenly, without any pre-warning. 

In such a case one enters into a challenging dilemma: Should one stop the plant immediately or is it possible to wait? Are all leaks the same? Or are some more critical than others? What are exactly the risks and how one can minimize the risks and avoid leaks? 

This Urea Clinic will discuss the various possible kind of leaks in a urea plant and its consequences and safety risks. It will also discuss prevention and mitigation measures. The Clinic will discuss several historical cases, which can be used as guidelines but sometimes also can bring up surprising and unexpected learning points…

By means of lectures and open round table discussions we target to reach a better understanding of the specific safety risks of the various kind of leaks leading and better decisions how to handle leaks in urea plants.

Agenda:
1. What are the Safety Hazards in Urea Plants?
2. What are the different kind of leaks?
3. What are the risks of a specific leak?
4. What are the prevention and mitigation measures?

*Separately bookable at a cost of €100 + VAT for operators and €450 + VAT for all other delegates
