Course Details

Design methods and criteria are presented and discussed to familiarize process engineers with practical techniques (including short-cut methods) for sizing, design, and selection of the main types of process equipment for refineries, petrochemical, and related process plants.
The course covers description and definition of hydrocarbons and mixture properties, characterization parameters and their significance in design of equipment. Basic calculation procedures for design of process equipment, with sample examples, are presented and discussed to enhance skills in design techniques.
Procedures for preparation of process data and equipment design specification requirements, evaluation of proposals and interaction with equipment manufacturers are discussed. Brief sessions are included on mechanical design aspects and on cost estimating methods to complement background to process design and equipment evaluation and selection aspects
