    Course details

    Overview
    Chemical Engineering for Non-Chemical Engineers is a course designed to introduce non-chemical engineers to the fundamental principles of chemical engineering. The course covers topics such as thermodynamics reaction engineering process design and process control. This programme identifies the areas of chemical engineering that are most commonly encountered by the non-specialist with examples that will be drawn from a range of process industries including oil and gas processing petrochemicals and chemical manufacturing. Overall Chemical Engineering for Non-Chemical Engineers provides an introduction to the principles and concepts of chemical engineering with a focus on practical applications and real-world examples. The course is designed for non-chemical engineers who want to gain a basic understanding of chemical engineering principles and their applications in industry

    Objective
    To introduce non-chemical engineers to the wide range of industrial applications of chemical engineeringfrom the manufacture of chemicals and pharmaceuticals to the production of energy and consumer goods.
    Learn to Interpret flow sheets and process flow diagrams
    Develop and understand mass and energy balances in process design
    Learn about fluid flowpumps and compressorsand mixing
    Understanding the fundamentals of chemical engineering principlesincluding material and energy balancesthermodynamicsreaction engineeringprocess designand process control.
    Understand distillation and separations used in oil and gas processing
    Discuss efficient minimization and treatment
    Learn how to control processes
    Perform basic economic analysis of a project
    Understand the safety and environmental responsibility of process engineers

    Who Should Attend
    All those working in the chemical, petrochemical, oil and process industries with a need to understand and discuss issues with the chemical engineering specialists.
    These will include geo-scientists, petroleum engineers, production engineers, trainee process engineers, R&D chemists, plant chemists, plant operators and economists. Case studies and examples will cover a range of levels, making the course also suitable non-technical staff.
