Learn to design real distillation columns, heat exchanger networks, batch reactors, and process safety studies — fluid mechanics, heat/mass transfer, reaction engineering, P&IDs, HAZOP, and process control.
21 modules and 5 complete real-project case studies, with worked calculations, field documentation, and a certificate of completion.
Process engineering scope, mass/energy balances, PFDs, and unit operations.
Fluid properties, Reynolds number, Bernoulli’s equation, and pipe sizing.
Conduction, convection, radiation, and the LMTD concept.
Fick's law, mass transfer coefficients, and vapor-liquid equilibrium.
The first and second laws, enthalpy balances, and phase equilibrium.
Rate laws, ideal reactor types, conversion, and selectivity.
Absorption, stripping, extraction, and separation process selection.
The McCabe-Thiele method, reflux ratio, and column internals.
Exchanger types, the LMTD design procedure, and pinch analysis.
Pump curves, the operating point, and NPSH/cavitation.
Flow, level, pressure, and temperature measurement.
Feedback control loops, PID control, and control valve sizing.
P&ID symbology, equipment tags, and its role as the master reference.
PSM overview, inherently safer design, and relief systems.
The guide-word methodology and systematic node-by-node review.
Startup/shutdown, operator rounds, and management of change.
Real diagnostic scenarios covering common real process problems.
A full worked McCabe-Thiele stage calculation and column sizing.
A pinch analysis minimizing utility use across a stream set.
Reactor sizing and cycle time for a target production rate.
A full node-by-node HAZOP with real findings and recommendations.
System head calculation, pump selection, and an NPSH check.
12 real project templates — a mass and energy balance worksheet, PFD/P&ID symbol legend, HAZOP worksheet, line list, equipment data sheet, relief valve sizing calculation sheet, process safety information checklist, management of change form, commissioning checklist, RFI template, punch list, and an as-built documentation checklist. Available for download from Module 20 (Documentation & Resource Kit) once you've unlocked the program.
Coming later: sample process simulation files and video demonstrations. Not included in this release.
