    Welcome to the course "Process Design", 5cr

    This course will teach and give understanding on designing processes from raw materials to products. In this course, you will learn the basics of process design, design methodology, research & development (R&D) fundamentals, and preliminary and basic design. The focus will be in the process and equipment sizing, process flow diagrams (PFD), piping and Instrumentation (PI) diagrams, costs and profitability calculations, heat integration (pinch), mechanical unit operations, safety and environmental aspects in design, documents created in design and the tools needed in design. In addition, Aspen Plus process simulation (flow sheeting) program will allow you to practice process design, analysis and costs estimation. 

    NOTE: This course will help you to perform compulsory (Design Project-10cr) in Master education as well as to work in the industry

    The course starts on 9.1.2023 at 14:15 -16; Ke1
