·       Develop and understand mass and energy balances in process design

·       Learn about fluid flow, pumps and compressors, and mixing

·       Discuss heat transfer equipment and their design, including heat exchangers

·       Understand distillation and separations used in oil and gas processing

·       Discuss effluent minimization and treatment

·       Learn how to control processes

·       Perform a basic economic analysis of a project

·       Understand the safety and environmental responsibility on process engineers

Course Objectives:

 

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

 

·       Learn to interpret flow sheets and process flow diagrams
