Læringsmål

Students will be introduced to the field of natural gas processing, its components, their chemical reactivity and the natural gas industry. Participants in this course will develop a basic understanding of catalysis and its process technology aspects. This knowledge will enable students to analyze and understand current chemical processes for gas purification & conversion, and will lead to a good understanding of selected future chemical process developments as wel as the principle technical challenges in chemical gas conversion.

Innhold

Basic concepts in catalysis, catalyst-characterisation and catalyst-preparation and reactor technology overview. Review of natural gas conversion chemistry. Review of current industrial natural gas purification and conversion processes. Future developments in natural gas conversion chemistry and process development.
