Process Design

About the course

PD1 teaches the design of production processes, in theory and in practice, built on the core principles of chemical engineering. Participants gain a working knowledge of the equipment and processes most used in industry and apply it to a real production design project. The course follows Process Design Manual-1, written by Velocis Solutions.

What you will learn

• Learn the core topics of chemical engineering: hydraulics, heat transfer, separation and reactions
• Apply those principles to production processes
• Design a real production process from first principles
• Understand how production equipment works and evaluate its performance
• Carry out engineering calculations on equipment and systems independently
• Analyse how process systems and equipment behave
