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 Development
- Process Scale-Up
- Process Start-Up
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 fills the void between the curriculum of a
theoretical education and the practical demands of applied
process engineering or process-mechanical engineering.
It is structured to follow the major responsibilities of a
process engineer as a project progresses. Therefore, the
course reviews such topics as: in-depth explanation of
necessary process documentation emphasizing 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.
