This unit information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester.
Please note that given the circumstances of COVID-19, there may be some modifications to the assessment schedule promoted in Handbook for Semester 1 2020 Units. Students will be notified of all approved modifications by Unit Coordinators via email and Unit Blackboard sites. Where changes have been made, these are designed to ensure that you still meet the unit learning outcomes in the context of our adjusted teaching and learning arrangements.
Process design is a major part of the chemical engineering profession. In this unit, students will continue the design of an industrial plant which they started in the preceding Unit Operations and Process Design Fundamentals unit, from conceptual process development to final commissioning. The design components in this unit will include detailed equipment design, 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 have passed ENS3112 and ENS3113 or alternatively have passed ENS6170 and ENS6171
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Students in this unit will work collaboratively in groups on an authentic industry based process design project supported, where possible, by feedback from practising engineers in industry. Lectures will also be delivered to provide students with the necessary analysis and design skills to support the project work.
