You need production equipment to make things if you want to make money. This course will elaborate the design applications on classical chemical processes and unit operations, and solids handling. Mass production of any products can only be answered with integrated processes and equipment. Using a flowsheet simulator, students can quantitatively model a chemical processing plant. In general, a chemical processing plant is comprised of the core reactor unit and different additional unit operations, in the form of preand post-treatment steps, as well. Aspen Plus flowsheet simulator technology is progressively used in petroleum, petrochemical, and chemical industries, at large. Once the student masters such a powerful tool, he/she can use it in his/her daily professional life.
1. To introduce the use of process simulator for unit operation designs.
2. To be familiar with specific unit operation problems and process simulator instructions to solve such problems
3. Develop students' understanding of and skills in chemical process synthesis, design, evaluation, and optimization.
4. Enhance students' skills in process simulation.
5. Support integration of chemical process design knowledge and skills already acquired.
