Develop a solid knowledge of the main issues related to the design and operation of a chemical process plant, with particular emphasis to the steps that follow the development of a project. Knowledge on methodologies of project management will be aquired together with cost estimation, P&I and Flow Sheet definition tolls. A final project work on a specific plant from different process sectors will be executed and discussed
Unit operations, Chemical Reaction Engineering, Design of chemical plant components, Safety & Reliability in Process Industry
