Chemical Process Technology

ABOUT THE COURSE: The course shall bring out concepts forming the basis of the Chemical Process Industry and to give a solid background for innovative process development. It shall discuss the actual industrial processes that presents opportunities and challenges for chemical engineers for the development of these processes. Some of these processes still exhibit open challenges. Our goal is to help students and in developing a vision on chemical processes taking into account the microscale ((bio)chemistry, physics), the mesoscale (reactor, separation units), and the macroscale (the process) domains. Hence the knowledge of these will be helpful for outgoing undergraduates for employment opportunities.INTENDED AUDIENCE: Undergraduates from Chemical EngineeringINDUSTRY SUPPORT: All the Oil and Gas Major Industries; Bulk and Intermediate; and the Fine Chemicals will be aligned with this course. Moreover the concept of Biorefinery and Sustainable Development for all the Processes shall be discussed.
