Advanced Chemical Engineering and Process Design Training Courses


Chemical Engineering and Plant Design Training

Introduction:

Chemical Engineering is a multifaceted field incorporating principles from physics, chemistry, applied mathematics, and economics to process, produce, transport, and properly manage chemicals, materials, and energy. A critical component of chemical engineering is plant design, which emphasizes the creation of a functional and safe facility that effectively delivers the intended products or services.

Chemical engineers harness their knowledge and expertise to transform raw materials into valuable products such as pharmaceuticals, fuels, chemicals, and plastics, not only through manufacturing but also by conducting and designing innovative experimental research to improve production methods, mitigate environmental impacts, and conserve resources.

Understanding Plant Design in Chemical Engineering:

What is plant design in chemical engineering? This module will explore this question by exploring the elements of designing a chemical processing plant. The chemical engineering and plant design course will cover aspects of preliminary plant design, including plant layout, integration of engineering principles, safety considerations, and economic evaluation.

Participants in this chemical engineering and plant design training will learn about the latest software and tools used in chemical engineering plant design projects, enhancing their capacity to plan, design, and analyze chemical processing systems efficiently. One of the key challenges in chemical engineering is plant design and economics for chemical engineers. In this portion of the training, we will address the economic considerations that play a pivotal role in plant design.

This chemical engineering and plant design training involves analyzing plant design and economics for chemical engineers' solutions and integrating cost-analysis and profitability assessment strategies to optimize the plant's financial performance. Engineering solutions will strictly adhere to the best practices and ethical standards expected from certificate holders in chemical engineering and plant design.
