Who Should Attend
The course is mainly directed to those just entering the
Process Engineering field including engineers, chemists and
technicians in the areas of:
• Plant Operation
• Process Scale-Up
• Process Development
• Process System Troubleshooting
Experienced process engineers, however, can profit from the
concise reviews and exposure to the innovative concepts,
including short-cut methods. The course will also benefit
those who supervise process engineers but who have had no
formal training in the field.
Description
This course has been designed to provide the knowledge you
need to get the job done. It fills the void between the
curriculum of a theoretical education and the practical
demands of applied process engineering or processmechanical
engineering. The course material is structured to
follow the major responsibilities of a process engineer as a
project progresses. Therefore, the course reviews such
topics as: process engineering diagrams, frictional and
pressure drop calculations for incompressible, compressible
and complex fluid flows, heat transfer calculations methods
and the sizing and economic selection of pumps, fans,
blowers, compressors, material selection for piping and
equipment, process and storage tanks, mixing equipment,
heat transfer equipment and electrical equipment. Emphasis
is placed on simplifying methods, shortcut techniques and
mnemonic devices throughout, making the applications of
process engineering as practical as possible. There is also
a brief introduction to motor controls, and instrumentation
and control.
Attendees are encouraged to bring questions not covered in
the outline. This course is highly interactive and the focus can
be adjusted according to the needs of the participants.
