Gas Process Operations

Level B - Plant Equipment

In cooperation with Red Deer College, YREC is pleased to offer the Gas Process Operations program in Edson.

The Gas Process Operations program provides training to plant operators working in the industry. The program consists of four levels of training - A, B. C, and D.

The objectives of the Gas Process Operations Program are twofold:

To supplement on-the-job training with technical knowledge about gas processes as well as knowledge of the underlying concepts, basic background, and plant safety.

To give gas plant operators the opportunity to obtain an industry-recognized certificate, certifying four levels of knowledge.

This October:

Level B - Plant Equipment   

This level provides a study of the equipment that is used both in the field and the plant. The equipment is required to separate  the hydrocarbon mixture into saleable products and transport the products. There are a total of 33 modules which are listed below.
