The purpose of this PE PDH Course is to present the basics of LNG safety. This professional engineer license renewal continuing education course can be a springboard for further training to help professional engineers understand the hardware, software, and human interface needs for safe LNG systems. Further, this training can assist engineers who train LNG operators to understand the technologies they oversee. Although this PDH Course is not all-inclusive, it is intended to stimulate the PE to think not only of the expected hazards that could accelerate a crisis but also of what is unexpected. Understanding, what is technically happening, is a necessary part of understanding how to recognize abnormal operations. In this PE license renewal PDH Course, we will present: • Combustion hazards • Cryogenic hazards • Thermal hazards • Asphyxiation hazards • Myths about LNG operations • How the essential safety asset is you – the design and training engineer • Human resource development o Integrity o Trust o Open communication o Leadership o Teamwork o Creativity o Continuous improvement o Developing a culture of safety and reliability (highlighted intentionally) • Who is ultimately responsible for safety – Everyone involved in the plant • If you see an unsafe act or condition, the responsibility is yours to remedy it • Preventive actions o Wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) o Following “all” procedures o Following “Management of Change” (MOC) requirements o Knowing and implementing emergency procedures o Initiating a partial or complete plant shutdown, if necessary o Having procedures updated if they are found to be inadequate • If you identify a needed repair or dysfunctional equipment – get it fixed • The technician’s life and that of his co-worker is everyone’s responsibility • You must understand the hazards o Basics of combustion o Effects of extreme cold o Consequence of low oxygen levels

This PE CEU course is the first in a series of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Courses. This course is designed for engineers entering the specialty of LNG or who want to understand the basics of LNG production, storage, transportation, safety measures, and vaporization. Learners taking this course are expected to have a basic understanding of thermodynamics and heat transfer (boiling, condensation pressure, temperature relationships, etc.). The learner will understand natural gas's origins and the required pre-treatment before natural gas is converted to LNG. The reasons for and methods of reducing the concentration of acid gases, mercury, water vapor, and heavy hydrocarbons before liquefaction will be covered. Many unique characteristics of LNG will be covered in this course.

To better respond to anomalies during plant operation, professional engineers need some understanding of thermodynamics. The thermodynamics presented in this publication are basic and based on application rather than theory. The cases studied are all steady-state (the properties of the fluid at any point do not change with time) and steady-flow (the flow rate does not change with time) type problems. All of the solutions are based on some simple calculations and or on the use of the pressure-enthalpy chart or thermodynamic software. A large-size pressure enthalpy chart for methane or a thermodynamic software should be used in concern with this PE PDH Continuing Education Course. At the end of this Phase 1, a thermodynamic overview of an open expansion gate station-type liquefaction plant process is studied. This open expansion plant overview study is not rigorous in that it is based on a simplified plant process without pressure drops, it does not take into account the pinch points of process heat exchangers, and it treats natural gas as a pure substance of 100% methane. Although this is not rigorous enough to depict the actual process, it serves the intent of this professional engineer license renewal continuing education course by exercising and reinforcing the concepts presented herein.

Professional Engineers learn how to improve the efficiency of the design and construction process, reduce the probability of a professional liability claim, and improve the likelihood of expectations being met.

Reviews the subjects of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, designed for professional engineers of all experience levels and PE continuing education.

Pressure vessels are a key component of many processing facilities. Nuclear plants, paper mills, refineries, and natural gas processing plants all depend on pressure vessels to process a product. It is often desired to assess or extend the remaining service life of these pressure vessels by performing an inspection and engineering evaluation. Pressure, thickness, and structural reinforcement calculations are completed to determine an estimated corrosion rate and remaining life. This PDH course for professional engineer license renewal will address the application of various nondestructive inspection techniques to facilitate pressure vessel suitability for service evaluations. A combination of direct and remote visual inspection, dye penetrant, dry magnetic particle, wet fluorescent magnetic particle, acoustic emission, hardness testing, and various ultrasonic thickness inspections are typically used to complete the evaluation. The primary focus of this online PE professional development course will be on the application of visual inspection supplemented by a variety of ultrasonic inspection techniques.

Learn about the foundational project management principles necessary to effectively meet all expectations with regard to final project delivery, including the established goals of time, budget, and quality.

The Project Manager not only needs to know what to do, but also “how to do it” and what to do when a difficult situation presents itself. Invariably, the solution is not begun until the PM and/or the project team members recognize that a problem exists. It can then be resolved with training and experience, each of which is an equally valuable commodity.

This Professional Engineer PDH course in project management illustrates the use of tools available to manage a successful project. The case studies described in this course were real-life events, often occurring under extremely stressful conditions. In most of these cases the integrity as well as the capabilities of the Project Managers were at issue.
