This foundational course introduces students to the principles, methods, and scope of chemical process engineering. It emphasizes the role of chemical engineers in transforming raw materials into useful products through safe, efficient, and sustainable processes. Students will learn key process concepts, material and energy balances, process flow representations, unit operations, and basic process calculations. The course also introduces industrial applications, engineering problem-solving, and the integration of chemical, physical, and biological transformations.
Chemical Process Engineering focuses on the design, operation, control, and optimization of chemical processes that convert raw materials into useful products. These can include pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, food, polymers, fuels, and consumer goods. The discipline integrates chemistry, physics, mathematics, and engineering principles to ensure processes are efficient, safe, economical, and environmentally sustainable.
Part I introduces foundational concepts such as material and energy balances, process flow diagrams, unit operations, physical properties of fluids and materials, and basic thermodynamics. Students also learn how chemical processes are structured, how mass flows through systems, and how to apply engineering principles to solve introductory process problems.
The course is suitable for engineering students, science graduates, technicians, and anyone new to chemical processing. It is especially valuable for individuals pursuing careers in chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food, water treatment, and energy industries. No advanced prior knowledge is required beyond basic mathematics and chemistry.
Participants develop essential skills in analyzing chemical processes, constructing and interpreting process flow diagrams, performing material and energy balance calculations, identifying key unit operations, and applying basic engineering problem-solving methods. These competencies form the groundwork for advanced process engineering courses and practical industrial applications.
While Part I is designed for beginners, a basic understanding of high school chemistry, algebra, and physics is helpful. These fundamentals make it easier to grasp concepts such as conservation laws, phase behavior, and energy transformations. The course serves as a foundation for more advanced topics in chemical reaction engineering, process control, and plant design.
