RathGibson to support China’s infrastructure growth RathGibson, a manufacturer of welded, welded and drawn, and seamless stainless steel, nickel, and titanium tubing, has received orders for two infrastructure projects in China. The first project involves three major fabricators in China who are using many tons of RathGibson’s C-276 tubes in the manufacture of multiple heat exchanger units. The end user, Lunan Fertilizer Company, Ltd, will be utilising the heat exchangers for processing in their new Acetic Anhydride project. For the second project in China, RathGibson will be supplying large amounts of titanium tubing for the construction of a power plant for the Huaneng Group. “RathGibson was selected by fabricator Harbin Turbine because of our commitment to quality and service,” said Peter Wang, director, business development, Greater China. Learning the fundamentals of oil and gas knoweldge IBC, known for its energy conferences, also provides high quality training, delivered through a variety of formats to assist individuals and organisations in achieving their goals by developing skills, knowledge and performance. The organisation has recently expanded its courses to include a Fundamentals of Oil & Gas distance learning product. Distance learning allows studying at a time and pace to suit the student, without incurring the costs of travel and time out from busy schedules. Fundamentals of Oil & Gas, which commences 10 February 2010, aims to provide an understanding of the industry from upstream to downstream and beyond. Being such a vast and complex industry, it can be difficult to gain a global understanding of its entirety, especially when starting out, or when your job is focused on just one part of the process. Delivered over 12 weeks in six modules, the course is a path to a rounded understanding of this dynamic sector, and will develop a thorough, accurate and up-to-date knowledge of oil and gas fundamentals. The course programme consists of: Introducing oil and gas; Finding oil and gas; Extracting and processing oil and gas; Oil refining and gas treatments; Selling oil and gas; and Managing oil and gas.
