Learning Outcomes
1.
Design a train of separation units
2.
Design a heat exchanger network (HEN) for a chemical
process such that the maximum energy is recovered or the
minimum number of exchangers is used
3.
Suggest reasonable process control configurations using
qualitative methods
4.
Formulate linear optimization problems
5.
Solve linear optimization problems using linear programming
Synopsis
This course enables students to learn the key steps in carrying
out a process design, creation and synthesis with emphasis on
environmental issues and safety considerations. Students will be
exposed to basic principles of sequencing and optimizing of
separation columns, determine minimum energy requirement for
heat exchanger network and reduce power requirements.
Students will also be exposed to handling flowsheet
controllability and plantwide control structure.
