Essentials of Chemical Engineering for Operators

A dynamic online course on the fundamentals of chemical engineering for those who are not chemical engineers but work with them.  This course offers a comprehensive overview of the function, principles, requirements, and operation of process equipment. Throughout the course professionals will learn key concepts so they will develop a deeper understanding of how chemical engineering relates to their disciplines.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Discuss conservation principles, chemical reactions thermodynamics and equilibrium.
  • Describe the basics of fluid flow and mixing, heat exchangers, chemical reactors and process control.
  • Explain how to handle complex concepts, including distillation and mass transfer operations.
