ENG3192 design project

university of surrey

The detailed design of a chemical process paying appropriate consideration to sustainability, economic and operational feasibility and engineering practicality is a key skill for chemical engineers and requires a detail and robust understanding of all aspects of chemical engineering.  This module comprises a sequence of learning opportunities designed to integrate and consolidate most of the fundamental science and engineering expertise acquired during the previous levels of the degree programme.  The assessment is design with 67% based on individual work and 33% based on group activity.

ENG3190 Process operation and management

university of surrey

The financial and operational management of a chemical process is essential to Chemical Industry; students who have first-hand experienced these activities will become more rounded and employable graduates.  Following a comprehensive grounding in the science of Crystallisation students will complete a number of Case Studies related to the performance and operation of the pilot plant rig processing a crystallising system.  Following comprehensive training in the safe operation of the pilot plant students will then adopt a number of different rolls in the management and operating structure of the unique pilot plant and will manage/operate the unit in semi-batch mode for 4x12hr consecutive days of production.

ENG2111: Separation processes 1 & HYSYS

university of surrey

This course provides an introduction to separation processes, with particular emphasis on equilibrium staged separations of binary mixtures.  Processes covered include binary distillation, liquid-liquid extraction and gas absorption and desorption. This gives students an appreciation of what lies beneath chemical engineering flow-sheeting and design software packages. This appreciation is enhanced by hands on experience with HYSYS, an industry standard chemical engineering design simulation package

chemeng 180: chemical engineering plant design

Stanford University

In 2016 the US chemical industry, largest in the world, exceeded 800 billion dollars in sales and accounted for a fifth of the global production. We rely on the chemical industry for its role in the production of pharmaceuticals, fertilizer, fuel, as well as 96% of all manufactured goods. But what goes into building a chemical plant? How would you identify opportunities for profit, and take game-changing process innovation ideas to real production facilities? This course will teach you to leverage your engineering background to complete such major projects, taking engineering ideas to well-mapped out production plans, while using state-of the art engineering software tools. In this course you will apply your technical knowledge towards the design of a chemical plant, use Aspen process simulation software to model industrial processes, and work in team environments to conduct and present your work.
