Course Overview

Separation processes are some of the most important processes in the chemical manufacturing and oil and gas industries. Efficient separation leads to high value end products [purity energy efficient and lower energy consumption and emissions for the industry. The most important of these processes include extraction adsorption, absorption and distillations. This course provides details of the scientific principles design of columns operation and simulation for the above approaches. Recent advances are breakthroughs are discussed in detail.

Who should take this course

Chemists, Chemical Engineers, Industrial engineers of any level of experience since the delivery approach can fit their needs. Scientists with interest in any separation technology or/ and in simulation approaches. The level of the examples and exercises can be adjusted in order to meet the experience and requirements of the participants.
