Course Overview

This specialized course provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles and practices of designing and simulating industrial process plants. It integrates fundamental chemical engineering knowledge into the creation of safe, efficient, and economically viable processes. A central focus is placed on using modern process simulation software as an essential tool for modelling, optimizing, and troubleshooting plant-wide operations before construction. Participants will learn the systematic methodology for plant design, from conceptual flowsheet development and equipment sizing to detailed economic analysis.

Course Outcomes

Delegates will gain the knowledge and skills to:

Develop a process flowsheet (PFD) and piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) for a given chemical process.

Apply principles of material and energy balances to size and specify major process equipment (e.g., reactors, separators, heat exchangers).

Utilize industry-standard process simulation software (e.g., Aspen HYSYS, CHEMCAD) to model steady-state process behavior.

Analyze the economic viability of a process by performing a preliminary cost estimation and profitability analysis.

Evaluate design alternatives and optimize key process variables for safety, efficiency, and sustainability.

Integrate considerations of process control and safety into the fundamental plant design.

Key Course Highlights

At the end of this course, you’ll understand:

  • Basic principles of process plant design and flowsheet development.
  • Process for steady-state and dynamic process simulation using commercial software tools.
  • Methods for optimizing process efficiency through heat integration and energy management.
  • Sizing and designing key process equipment such as reactors, distillation columns, and heat exchangers.
  • Economic analysis, cost estimation, and sustainability considerations in process design.
  • Safety, environmental impact assessment, and regulatory compliance in plant design and operation.
Who Should Attend

This course is ideal for chemical engineers, process engineers, and plant design professionals involved in developing, optimizing, or scaling industrial processes. It is highly relevant for process simulation specialists and operations engineers seeking to enhance modelling accuracy and workflow efficiency. Additionally, it supports production supervisors, technical managers, and EPC project teams who need a stronger understanding of design decisions, performance predictions, and plant-wide system behaviour.
