Instructor led live virtual classroom online. Classes may be individual or in group.

Course details

Overview
Separation processes are some of the most important processes in the chemical manufacturing and oil and gas industries. Efficient separation leads to high value end products [purity energy efficient and lower energy consumption and emissions for the industry. The most important of these processes include extraction adsorption absorption and distillations. This course provides details of the scientific principles design of columns operation and simulation for the above approaches. Recent advances are breakthroughs are discussed in detail.

  • Understand the fields of application of each approach
  • Understand the designoperation and simulation for each approach
  • Get acquainted with simulation principles in each approach [Computational Chemistry HyperChem and Process Simulation ASPEN/ DWSIM]
  • Discuss limitations of each approach
  • Focus on extractive distillation media and design
  • Discuss recent advances and breakthroughs in these scientific fields

Who Should Attend
Chemists, Chemical Engineers, Industrial engineers of any level of experience since the delivery approach can fit their needs. Scientists with interest in any separation technology or/ and in simulation approaches. The level of the examples and exercises can be adjusted in order to meet the experience and requirements of the participants.
