Synopsis
Process plants are complex facilities consisting of equipment,
piping systems, instruments, electrical systems, electronics and
control systems. The design and engineering of process plants
require not only fundamental core chemical engineering but also
multidisciplinary knowhow. Plant layout principles and system
design of air, water, steam, industrial gases supply constitute a
major part of the design and engineering effort in order to design
a safe and dependable processing facility in a cost effective
manner. This course provides the basic knowledge and skills and
covers the fundamental principles and concepts used in plant
design highlights concepts such as electrical distribution system
requirements, fire fighting and centralized refrigeration system
design, plant maintenance and commissioning planning,
ventilation and other common facilities, principles for designing
shut down and start-up procedures, and quality control and
monitoring requirements.
