Inherently Safer Design
This SAChE course provides information for understanding inherently safer design of chemical processes and plants.
Integrated Process Synthesis
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.
Intellectual Property for Chemical Engineers
This course will provide the engineer with a basic understanding of the laws that surround the protection of ideas, discoveries, and inventions, including the intellectual property (IP) law principles that surround patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets.
Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA)
This online course offers an overview of Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) to mitigate risk in your processes.
Particle and Bulk Solids Characterization Technology
Given the wide range of technologies available today for powder and particle characterization, selecting the best option for an application is not easy. Join particle characterization and technology experts Remi Trottier and Karl Jacob to gain a solid understanding of the basics of particle and bulk solids characterization necessary to properly select instruments and validate data and a look at the latest commercially available technologies.
Particle Technology
This course is intended as an introduction to particle technology. For each of the topics studied, the fundamental science involved is introduced and this is linked, where possible, to industrial practice.
Pneumatic Conveying of Bulk Solids
This course will help you learn how to apply practical design and troubleshooting principles to improve the efficiency, safety and reliability of pneumatic conveying systems transporting powders and bulk solids.
Pneumatic Conveying of Bulk Solids
Gain a better understanding of pneumatic conveying problems and principles, allowing you to evaluate and troubleshoot your in-plant systems to determine effectiveness and improve efficiency.
Principles and Practices of Chemical Reactor Design and Operations
Improve your ability to design unconventional reactor configurations – even when equations for them are not available – by adopting a new outlook and approach. Join chemical reactor technology expert Uzi Mann and gain knowledge and tools you can apply to the design of any reactor configuration with any number of reactions with any stoichiometry having any form of rate expression.
Process Safety 101
This certificate reviews elementary concepts related to process safety including: process descriptions, Process Safety Management (PSM), mechanical integrity, process controls, flammability, static, electricity, and more.
