COURSE OVERVIEW

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Chemical Process Simulation & Design. It covers the process simulation, user interface and project setup in simulation software; the physical property methods and data input, material and energy balances and process flow diagrams (PFDs); the distillation column modelling, heat exchanger simulation & sizing, pump and compressor simulation and chemical reactor modelling; and the flash and separator operations covering single-stage flash calculations, multi-phase separators, specifying pressure, temperature, and phase splits and applications in upstream/downstream processes. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the recycle streams and process convergence; the sensitivity and parametric analysis, economic evaluation, cost estimation and environmental and safety integration; the advanced thermodynamic models and non-ideal systems; the energy integration and pinch analysis; the process optimization techniques covering objective function definition, constraint identification and solver configuration and use; the design workflow, equipment sizing principles and the role of simulation in feed and EPC phases; the proper selection of effects and sequence; and the steam economy, energy efficiency, simulation and validation and performance optimization.
