Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-theart simulators. This course covers the application of chemical engineering theory to the practical demands of applied process engineering. The course will be presented in interactive format with many industrial examples and case studies. Participants will have the opportunity to solve sample problems with the help of the instructor. The first part of the course will cover the basics of unit operations and the development of an effective process. Topics included are the preparation of process flow diagrams (PFDs) and P&IDs. These diagrams represent the organization and control of equipment in a petrochemical plant or refinery. This is followed by the calculation of material flows and the concept of a material balance. Included are techniques on the sizing and evaluation of piping networks (including pipe segments, fittings, parallel piping systems, valves and controls equipment). Pressure drop calculations are presented for a variety of systems ? ordinary Newtonian liquids, vapors and mixed phase systems, reacting systems, packed beds and fluidized beds.On completion of this course, participants will have the ability to understand and prepare PFDs and P&IDs, perform material/heat balance and fluid flow calculations. Participants will also be able to design, rate and select the major process equipment which accounts for most of the capital investment in refineries and petrochemical plants. During the class, participants will be given detailed procedures and worksheets for performing the appropriate calculations. Many of the examples have been developed on EXCEL; these programs will be given to the participants on a CD. The tools provided should aid in the design and operation of chemical systems. This is an interactive course with numerous case studies and a CD with solved problems, worksheet and shortcut techniques.
