As a chemical engineer, before you can make proposed process alterations you must consider the potential investment return.Yet, typically this involves detailed simulations and design work. Join process synthesis and integration experts Diane Hildebrandt and Bilal Patel and learn novel design and analysis techniques you can implement early on to avoid costly revisions to processes while reducing material and energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.
The design and analysis of chemical production processes – a new approach
In three days, you’ll discover tools that allow you to gain insight into a process by emphasizing the unity of the process. You’ll learn how to apply mass, energy and entropy balances in an entirely new way for the synthesis of flow sheets. You’ll examine how to analyze equipment – such as reactors and distillation columns – using mass, energy and entropy balances to identify measure and reduce inefficiencies. Plus, you’ll learn how to set up and calculate performance targets for your process, such as the minimization of CO2 emissions. You’ll take home strategies you can use to gain insight into processes, establish rigorous performance targets and enhance process performance all while conserving natural resources and reducing negative environmental impact.
Learning Outcomes:
-
Describe the overarching principles of integrated process synthesis.
-
Apply mass, energy, and entropy balances to synthesize flow sheets.
-
Measure and reduce inefficiencies in balances.
-
Set up performance targets for the minimization of CO2 emissions.
-
Criticize processes that fail to conserve natural.
