Plant Design II

At the end of this course, the students should be able to: 1. analyse existing process and carry-out process retrofitting; 2. perform flowsheet of the operating principles of reacting, pumping & piping, plant control, and utilities systems and execute the design of the systems; 3. analyse product/process design options and produce flow diagrams to obtain most suitable option; 4. perform process design of some units; 5. plan, produce and implement process calculations using software; 6. prepare and present findings of engineering design tasks; 7. perform process economics and determine process profitability, carry-out safety and environmental studies; and 8. present final design orally and in writing.

A design problem involving the study of a process. It should consist of preparation of flow sheet and heat and mass balances of the process and a detailed design of plant or unit operation equipment used in the process. Due consideration must be given to economics and safety. Each student is expected to submit and orally defend a bound copy of technological/engineering design project. A design project should consist of introduction, literature review, process design, detailed design of some of the units of the process, specification of the equipment required, specification of materials of construction, basic mechanical design and drawings, inclusion of process control, modern drawings of the process equipment including a good flow chart, economic and environmental considerations.
