Plant Design Project (10 ECTS)

Objective

The student is able to produce a preliminary chemical process concept. She/he can apply systematic process synthesis tools, chemical process simulation tools and whole process performance criteria in the conceptual process design phase. Furthermore, the student is able to produce process design documents. The student will acquire skills how to work as a member in an industrial chemical process design project. She/he will experience by team work the hierarchical character of the conceptual process design, the benefits of the systematic working methods and the need to understand the whole process performance when optimal design is sought.

Content

In the course, students will examine the pre-design of one actual process/product in groups of 4 to 5 people, using previously learned knowledge and skills. It is a so-called. a feasibility study that examines technical, economic, environmental and safety factors. Projeck can also be a process or product development. The project topics include chemistry, biochemistry, wood processing, plastics and the environment, energy technology.
