Learning Outcomes
1.
Design a chemical plant and its major equipment such as reacting unit,
separation system and heat transfer equipment
2.
Conduct a technical and economic feasibility study before establishing
a chemical plant.
3.
Evaluate fixed and operating costs involved.
4.

Synopsis
One or more project proposals to produce chemicals will be prepared by the
esign project coordinator. Students work in groups of four or five, with each
roup supervised by an academic staff. In the first semester, each group has
o examine flow sheets based on technical, economic, environmental
onsiderations, and complete the mass and energy balances. In the second
emester, each student has to design a major equipment or system such as a
hemical reactor or a vacuum generating system complete with the
engineering drawings, safety features and ccontrol systems.
