        The goalThe objective of the course is students to be familiar with the principles of process design and selection of basic process equipment in chemical industry processes. Also, the theoretical basics and calculations of separation processes for multicomponent mixtures are to be introduced to students. The specific objective is for students to acqiure skills in using tools - specialized design and drawing softwares.
        The outcomeAcquiring an engineering mindset with application to systematic process design at the level of preliminary design of a new process and revamp/retrofit design of existing process; Using software tools to simulate different devices / operations / processes and to analyze device / process performance; Using software tools to graphically present equipment and process; Awareness of working in multidisciplinary teams of designers;
        Contents
        Contents of lecturesUnit operations, eqipment and processes deal with multicomponent mixtures (multicomponent distillation - phase equilibrium, material and energy balancing, operating conditions, number of theoretical trays; multicomponent and non-isothermal absorption - material and enthalpy balances, number of theoretical trays, packing column height). Process synthesis as part of integrated process design. Preliminary process design in case of new process design (input-output process structure, reactor-separator-recirculation system, separation system, process integration, process costs). Design of a new process in industrial practice. Process design in case of revam and retrofit design of existing process. Introduction to cleaner production.
        Contents of exercisesCalculations of the material and energy balances of the processes, the equilibrium and operating parameters of the multi-component mixtures and the separation column parameters for absorption and distillation. Process simmulation with and monitoring of quantity and quality of the obtained products, using specialized software (Design II, Aspen). Defining basic flow regimes in two-phase pipelines. Analysis of process parameters (pressure, temperature, compositions, flows, phase equilibrium) in individual devices or in a group of devices. Production of specification lists of equipment and measuring and control equipment, list of lines and list of utilities. Graphic presentation of part of the process using specialized software (AutoCad).
