Course Details

UOP – Process Design Fundamentals

OVERVIEW

This course delivers practical insights into the principles of process design.

COURSE BENEFITS

Course participants will be able to:

Set up and solve heat and material balances
Systematically assess hydraulic circuits
Demonstrate competency in line sizing
Evaluate the effectiveness of existing equipment under new processing conditions
Generate requirements and equipment data sheets for new equipment
Critique third party designs

COURSE TOPICS

Applied thermodynamics and process modeling
Multi-component fractionation - process principles and parametric analysis techniques
Column sizing
Line sizing/hydraulics
Pumps and compressors
Heat exchangers (shell and tube, air coolers)
Fired heaters
Relieving systems

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Chemical engineers with less than two years of experience in the hydrocarbon processing industries; engineers transferring from allied engineers returning to the workplace who need a refresher on process design principles.

The course will be of particular benefit to those engineers who are responsible for rating the performance of existing equipment and systems at new processing conditions, conducting revamps, determining and specifying equipment, and auditing the work of third-party design engineers.
