Course Introduction

The Carbon Dioxide Surface Facilities Training Course provides a structured and in-depth understanding of how CO₂ surface facilities are designed, operated, and maintained across the full lifecycle of carbon dioxide handling. This training course focuses on the essential engineering principles required to safely manage CO₂ from capture through surface processing, transportation, and preparation for storage or injection. Participants will gain a strong foundation in the physical and chemical behavior of carbon dioxide and how these properties directly influence surface facility design and operational decisions.

This training course also explores the key components and systems used in CO₂ surface facilities, including compression, dehydration, and separation units. Strong emphasis is placed on safety, environmental responsibility, and regulatory awareness, ensuring participants understand the risks and controls associated with CO₂ handling. Through practical exercises and real-world case studies, learners will reinforce theoretical knowledge and develop practical insight into operational challenges. The Carbon Dioxide Surface Facilities Training Course is ideal for professionals seeking technical confidence in modern CO₂ infrastructure and surface facility operations.

Key learning highlights include:

  • Fundamental principles of carbon dioxide properties and behavior in surface facilities
  • Design and operational requirements of CO₂ compression, dehydration, and separation systems
  • CO₂ transportation and storage concepts linked to surface facility performance
  • Safety, environmental, and regulatory considerations in CO₂ handling
  • Practical exercises and case studies based on real CO₂ surface facility scenarios

Objectives

This training course aims to equip participants with the technical knowledge and practical understanding required to work confidently with carbon dioxide surface facilities across various applications.

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the core principles of CO₂ surface facilities design and operation, including how physical and chemical properties of carbon dioxide influence equipment selection and facility layout
  • Identify different types of CO₂ surface facilities and explain their applications within capture, transportation, and storage systems
  • Explain major CO₂ capture technologies such as post-combustion, pre-combustion, and oxy-fuel combustion, and assess their impact on surface facility design
  • Evaluate CO₂ transportation methods, including pipelines, trucking, and shipping, along with associated operational and safety challenges
  • Understand CO₂ storage options such as geologic storage and mineral carbonation and their implications for surface facilities
  • Recognize environmental, regulatory, and compliance requirements related to CO₂ surface facilities
