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 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, 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.
