Amine Expert’s technical training courses are founded on transferring our knowledge in the most realistic, practical, and effective manner possible. These courses cover all aspects of design, operation, troubleshooting, and engineering involving amine systems and sour water stripper plants. Every student takes away improved process insight and clear strategies to enhance the operation and health of their system.
This program is generally presented over five days and includes informal evening Q&A sessions with the instructors. The presentation material is included in a workbook and our published textbook is supplied for detailed study.
