Power Generation & Energy Systems
Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS)
An engineering introduction to carbon capture, transport, utilisation and geological storage — technology selection, integration with existing plant, cost and energy penalties, monitoring obligations and operational risk.
Industry focus: Power Generation & Electrical Engineering
Who Should Attend
Designed for these roles
- Process, mechanical and project engineers assessing decarbonisation options
- Power generation and petrochemical technical planners
- Upstream engineers evaluating storage and reservoir options
- HSE, sustainability and asset development professionals
Delivery formats
- Customised in-house training at your plant or office
- Public classroom delivery, subject to schedule
- Live online delivery where suitable
- Recommended group size: 8–20 participants
Problems Solved
What this course fixes
Decarbonisation targets set without a technical basis for capture options
Energy and utility penalties of capture underestimated in screening studies
CO2 transport and specification issues discovered late in design
Storage and monitoring obligations treated as a regulatory afterthought
Learning Outcomes
What participants can do after the programme
Outcomes are written as tasks, not topics — so managers can verify capability back at work.
- Compare post-combustion, pre-combustion and oxyfuel capture routes on real criteria
- Estimate energy penalty, utility demand and plant integration impact
- Specify CO2 conditioning, compression and pipeline requirements
- Explain geological storage screening, injection and monitoring requirements
- Screen CCUS options for a specific asset and identify the decisive risks
Course Outline
Detailed programme content
Day 1 — Capture & Conditioning
- CO2 sources, emission profiles and capture technology families
- Solvent, membrane and adsorption systems in practice
- Dehydration, compression, CO2 specification and materials
Day 2 — Transport, Storage & Projects
- Pipeline and shipping transport, hydraulics and safety
- Geological storage, injection wells, containment and MMV
- Utilisation routes, project economics and Asian regulatory landscape
Practical Work
Practical exercises and case studies
Sessions are built around calculations, data interpretation and technical decisions. Case material is generic or anonymised — no client-confidential project data is used.
Screening exercise comparing capture routes for a defined emission source
Estimating energy and utility penalty and its effect on plant output
CO2 specification and compression duty exercise for pipeline transport
Case discussion: storage screening criteria and monitoring obligations
Trainer Profile
Delivered by Ir. Lim Chee Keong
Senior Trainer — Piping, Flow Assurance & API Standards
20 years industry experience
Chee Keong specialises in the messy middle of brownfield work — where drawings are outdated, the line is live, and the shutdown window is already booked. He teaches decision-making, not just clause numbers.
Real project exposure
- Piping stress and support redesign after repeated flange leaks at a Gebeng chemical plant
- Hot tapping and temporary repair strategy for a live utility header
- Brownfield tie-in package reviews for an upstream gas processing platform
Certifications
- API 570 Piping Inspector
- ASME B31.3 Process Piping Practitioner
- Caesar II Stress Analysis
Trainer allocation is confirmed in your proposal. Substitute trainers hold equivalent certification and sector experience.
