COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES:
1. relate the composition and properties of raw materials (oil, natural gas), technological processes of oil refining and petrochemical processes, and the composition and properties of products (fuels, lubricants, petrochemicals, monomers, polymers).
2. relate the basic reaction and process characteristics of primary and secondary oil refining processes, and petrochemical processes.
3. distinguish the role of individual processes from the point of view of application and environmental requirements for products.
4. write reaction stages (schemes) and mechanisms for selected examples.
5. illustrate simple schemes of oil refining processes and petrochemical processes.
6. distinguish new, modified and developed technological processes.
LEARNING OUTCOMES AT THE PROGRAM LEVEL:
1. interpret the fundamental principles of chemical engineering in the fields of modelling and simulation of chemical reactions, of momentum, mass and energy transport processes and of separation processes
2. explain the principles of basic design of processes
3. solve real chemical engineering problems by scientific approach
4. judge the influence of the profession in general, and of particular methods and engineering solutions on the society and environment
5. demonstrate effective communication skills, both in writing and presentation, including English, and capability of working effectively in teams that may involve professionals from other disciplines
6. demonstrate capability of learning on their own and recognising the need for lifelong learning
