CHE3166 Process design

When you finish this unit, you should be able to:

1. 1

   Differentiate all the phases of a design project and explain the role of the chemical engineer in the detailed design stage and their relationship with the other design professionals.

2. 2

   Select suitable containment materials by explaining how chemicals are safely contained in a chemical process and corrosion mitigation.

3. 3

   Assess potential hazards using an industry-accepted framework and mitigate these hazards as part of the detailed design process.

4. 4

   Create engineering drawings used in the detailed design stage including P&I diagrams, equipment datasheets, general arrangement drawings and a site plot plan.

5. 5

   Compare different rotating equipment used in chemical processes.

6. 6

   Apply design rules for the specification of static equipment such as process vessels and heat exchangers with application of inherent safety, hydraulic and operability considerations and mechanical integrity.

7. 7

   Practise responsibility of a competent engineer to integrate individual design sections into a design project report including the analysis and review of engineering drawings and calculations. Through this activity, continue to develop positive attitudes to teamwork and responsible engineering practice.
