Course Overview
This programme identifies the areas of chemical engineering that are most commonly encountered by the non-specialist with examples that will be drawn from a range of process industries including oil and gas processing petrochemicals, chemical manufacturing.
Objectives
In this programme you will:
Learn to interpret flow sheets and process flow diagrams. Develop and understand mass and energy balances in process design. Learn about fluid flow pumps and compressors and mixing. Discuss heat transfer equipment and their design including heat exchangers. Understand distillation and separations used in oil and gas processing. Discuss effluent minimization and treatment. Learn how to control processes. Perform a basic economic analysis of a project. Understand the safety and environmental responsibility on process engineers.
Who should take this course
All those working in the chemical petrochemical oil and process industries with a need to understand and discuss issues with the chemical engineering specialists. These will include geo-scientists petroleum engineers, production engineers, trainee process engineers R&D chemists, plant chemists, plant operators and economists. Case studies and examples will cover a range of levels making the course also suitable non-technical staff.
