Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. Chemical Engineers are at the forefront of creating and developing processes and products. They are operating at the leading edge of technology and they are the minds and backbone of the process industry. All engineers, in general, employ mathematics, physics and the engineering art to overcome technical problems in a safe and economical fashion. Yet, it is the chemical engineer alone that draws upon the vast and powerful science of chemistry to solve a wide range of problems. The strong technical and social ties that bind chemistry and chemical engineering are unique in the fields of science and technology. The breadth of scientific and technical knowledge inherent in the profession has caused some to describe the chemical engineer as the ?Universal Engineer?. Despite a title that suggests a profession composed of narrow specialists, chemical engineers are actually extremely versatile and able to handle a wide range of technical problems.The rule of thumb is defined as ?a rough guestimate measure, practice or experience, as distinct from theory?. Engineers need such rules of thumb to guide decisions, set goals and check results. Some believe that providing a collection of rules of thumb is dangerous because engineers might forsake the fundamentals and place too much emphasis on order-of-magnitude estimates. However, it was found for problem solving in industry, for design, for process improvement and for troubleshooting that rule of thumb are not dangerous but they are very essential. This course is designed to provide chemical and process engineers with a lot of common-sense techniques, shortcuts and calculations to quickly and accurately solve day-to-day design, operations and equipment problems. The practical tips, handy formulas, correlations, curves, charts, tables, and shortcut methods presented in this course will save engineers valuable time and effort. This course covers rules of thumb applicable to Fluid flow, Heat exchangers, Fractionators, Absorbers, Pumps, Drivers, Separators/accumulators, Boilers & Cooling towers.
