Introduction

Liquified petroleum gas, commonly called LPG, consists of light hydrocarbon compounds, a mixture of propane and butane. It is a non-toxic but highly inflammable gas, and hence, LPG terminals need to be thoughtfully designed to prevent any hazards resulting from the physical properties of the gas.

LPG needs to be handled with care and thus all plant operations should be carried out with extreme safety, in adherence with universal standards.

LPG terminals are built to receive, store, mix and distribute LPG. Thus, considering the expanse of operations here, safety and planning are integral to the success of plant operations.

This T4D course will empower you with complete information and knowledge about LPG terminal designs and the safety of operations performed therein.

Through this course, you would acquire the skills and capabilities to work in any vertical of LPG operations, thus broadening avenues for greater opportunities promoting career growth.

Duration

10 Days
