      The goalThe objective of the course is to familiarize students with the design of entire chemical process. Introduction to the analysis of selected processes from the chemical and petrochemical and oil and gas industries (through case studies) at the complete plant level, including the reactor section of the process, is carried out using specialized softwares - rigorous process simulators and software for economic process evaluation. Term project of the whole process plant based on the project assignment. Seminar papers on a given topic.
      The outcomeDuring the course, students are trained in the following: Investigating different sources, gathering information and learning the same, in relation to a given process; Analysis of the structure of the process and generationg a process flow diagram at the entire plant level; Selecting the type and number of equipment for each part of the process; Selection of utilities and materials transport and flow equipment; Selection of the main control loops and their elements; Analysis of the possible End-of-pipe technologies for treatment of all types of waste and the choice of the same; Use of software tools for simulation of different equipment/unit operations scenarios and equipment/unit operations groups and for analyzing process performance, identifying opportunities cost, plant/process deadlocks and recommended process changes; Use of software tools for graphical representation of equipment and processes; Effective work in teams through various roles (team leader, process engineer, consultant)
      Contents
      Contents of lecturesCharacteristic case studies will be selected and following issues will be disscused: Defining of design basis; Development of process flowcharts; Development of process input-output structure; Development of reactor-separation-recirculation structure; Development of separation block structure; Selection of unit operations/equipment for the preparation of raw materials; Preparation and transportation of working fluids and utilities; Selection of reactors; Selection of a series of unit operations/equipment for the separation of reactor effluent; Selection of technologies for waste stream treatment from the process.
      Contents of exercisesSimulation of individual devices, device groups and processes as a whole. Analysis of geometric and hydraulic parameters of the device. Analysis of process parameters (pressure, temperature, compositions, flows, phase equilibrium) in individual unit operation or in a group of unit perations/equipments. Analysis of material and energy balance of the process as a consequence of reaction conditions and kinetics. Working on a computer using specialized software. Group work of seminars accompanying theoretical and practical classes (for a assigned specific field of chemical engineering, students are to write a research report on current achievements/ report on technological studies/ report on modeling and optimization; students perform computer simulation in relation to a specific assigment; student form a web application/ a presentation of basic conceptual knowledge)
