Course Overview

This course delivers practical insights into the principles of process design. It features a review of chemical engineering unit operations, discussion of design and performance characteristics of commonly-used equipment and case studies that deliver a broad perspective of the subject as well as an understanding of industrial engineering practices. Course content includes shortcut techniques, practical approaches to engineering problem solving, “rules-of-thumb” and guidelines that can be put into practice when participants return to their jobs. Teamwork is encouraged through collaboration on exercises, sharing work experiences and leveraging skills and knowledge.

Optionally, the UniSim® process simulator can be incorporated to give students hands-on experience modeling refinery processes. Students use the simulator to apply the principles of thermodynamics, distillation and column design learned during the lecture portion of the class.

We will be offering this course both in person and virtually. Virtual participants will log on during the live course, which meets during Central Standard Time.

1 week prior to the start of the course, we will provide the Teams meeting link via E-mail.

Cost with/without SA (In-person): $8000 / $9400 USD

Cost with/without SA (Virtual): $5100 / $5900 USD

Who Should Attend

Chemical engineers with less than two years of experience in the hydrocarbon processing industries; engineers transferring from allied industries (e.g., chemicals, power, and other industries that employ continuous processing techniques); engineers returning to the workplace who need a refresher on process design principles.

The course will be of particular benefit to those engineers who are responsible for rating the performance of existing equipment and systems at new processing conditions, conducting revamps, determining and specifying equipment, and auditing the work of third party design engineers.

Students should have a level of competency commensurate with an undergraduate degree in chemical engineering.
