COURSE OBJECTIVE:
Mastering the basics of chemical engineering design, from the design task to the conceptual design and development of the basic engineering design. To teach students to synthesize the knowledge acquired in undergraduate studies.

COURSE CONTENT (SYLLABUS):
WEEK 1. Introductory lecture: the role of a chemical engineer in process design. The project documentation.
WEEK 2. Standards, codes and recommendations. Organization and coordination of a chemical engineering project. Design safety factors. Contents of the terms of reference.
WEEK 3. Preparatory steps: preliminary study, data collection (specification of raw materials and products), importance of thermodynamic and physical quantities with emphasis on errors that occur affecting the calculation of mass and energy balances.
WEEK 4. Process diagrams (block diagram, PFD, PID) and basic information.
WEEK 5. Process simulation with examples.
WEEK 6. Equipment sizing (standardized and non-standardized equipment). Pipe sizing. Selecting pumps-and compressors.
WEEK 7. First partial test (theory and lab).
WEEK 8. Separation processes-properties that influence the selection of the separation process. Calculation of distillation columns (shortcut and detailed procedure).
WEEK 9. Heat exchangers types, TEMA standard (basic configuration-shell, front and rear heads). Criteria for selection. Sizing and rules for heat exchangers.
WEEK 10. Flash drums and vessels. Selection and sizing.
WEEK 11. Tanks and stirrers. Calculation of required power.
WEEK 12. Investment estimation. Direct and indirect costs. Cost indices (CEP index). Factor method and exponential method for investment assessment.
WEEK 13. Estimation of the purchase cost of key process equipment (reactors, pressure vessels, columns, tanks, heat exchangers).
WEEK 14. Plant layout. Process safety and environmental impact (poisoning, fire, explosion, ionizing radiation, uncontrolled pressure rise). Risk analysis: Dow and Mond-Dow indices (FEI, risk analysis). HAZOP study. Checklists to consider.
WEEK 15. Second partial test (theory and lab)

DEVELOPMENT OF GENERAL AND SPECIFIC COMPETENCIES OF STUDENTS:
The acquired knowledge will enable the student to create a conceptual design, following basic steps of the chemical engineering design. Recognizing the role of a chemical engineer in the preparation of project documentation in relation to other professions (team work).
