    This Course is Aimed at

    Chemists, Physicists, Biologists, Pharmacists and Environmental Sciences.

    Overview

    The course will begin by introducing general engineering concepts of efficiency, safety, sustainability and design, and will give delegates an essential grounding in the principles heat, mass and momentum transfer. The course will then move onto core chemical engineering concepts such as mass and energy balances and unit operations. The final day of the course will focus on the systems engineering, examining concepts of process control, optimisation, process safety, environmental impact and process economics. The course will be taught through the framework of a single design project to ensure the teaching and practical exercises have continuity and a unifying structure.
