Process design is a major part of the chemical engineering profession. In this unit, students will undertake the design of an industrial plant, from conceptual process development to final commissioning. The design will include technology selection, heat and mass balance analysis, progressive development of design diagrams, process safety, and economic analysis. A complete design report is to be produced. This unit synthesises the previous units in the chemical engineering degree to represent the work that a typical engineer undertakes in an engineering company or consultancy.
Students must pass units ENS3112 and ENS3113 or alternatively complete units ENS6170 and ENS6171
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Students will attend on campus classes as well as engage in learning activities through ECU Blackboard.
