PE0151 : Process Engineering - Design and Operations

This hands-on, highly-interactive course includes practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators.
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of process engineering design. It covers the basic chemical calculations and energy balances; the enthalpy changes accompanying chemical reactions as well as heat changes in mixing processes; the examples of alternative routes in process engineering and generalized approach to the chemical plant design; the operating instructions manual, conductance of performance test runs and troubleshooting; and the cost cutting measures, green engineering, process intensification, need for PFD and P&ID and block diagrams.
Further, this course will also discuss the development and utility of process flow diagrams; the development of piping and instrumentation diagrams; the process design of piping, process design of fluid moving devices and evaluation of centrifugal pump performance when handling viscous liquids; the power required in fan, blower an in adiabatic compressor; the flow meter, process design of orifice meter and rotameter and two phase flow; troubleshooting fluid flow systems and design of heat exchangers; the criteria of selection between horizontal condenser and vertical condenser; the multicomponent condensation, process design of reboilers and vaporizers and tinker’s flow model; and the air cooled heat exchangers and air heaters including plate heat exchangers and spiral flow heat exchangers.
