Categories > Technical / Chemical Category:   Essentials of Chemical Engineering for Non-Engineers     Program Duration : 5 Days Program Date 2 : 20-24 May, 2012 Program Location : Cairo, Egypt Program Fees : US$3200 /Per Person   PROGRAM INTRODUCTION: You work in a chemical-processing facility and need an overview of the basic mechanics and chemistry behind the process equipment you work with on a daily basis. This course will help operations personnel communicate effectively with the process engineers and technical managers they collaborate with by gaining a basic understanding of the operational factors and design equations that are used by chemical engineers. It is also ideal for designers, technicians, purchasing personnel, and others who would benefit from improved communication with the engineers with whom they work. PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: Familiarize yourself with the chemical, physical principles, and design equations that form the basis for the design of equipment at your site. Learn the terminology used at your facility. Understand the functions of key unit operations within your facility’s processes. Gain a basic understanding of key concepts such as: Mass and energy balances Reaction kinetics Variable affecting heat transfer Fluid flow Evaporation and crystallization Distillation Absorption and extraction Humidification Drying Crystallization Filtration and separation Process control PROGRAM OUTLINES: Overview of Chemical Engineering Techniques; Chemical Engineering Equipment; Stochiometry; Gas Laws; Process Flow Sheets Flow of Fluids, Liquids, and Gases Hydraulic Fundamentals; Friction, Pressure Drop, Pumps and Flow Measurements.
