Course contents :
|
| This course presents a process design methodology based on a hierarchical approach. This methodology is used to optimize or find the best the flowsheet allowing to reach the production of the wished products.
It is structured in the following way:
A. Analysis and synthesis of a process
- A "creative" method
- The hierarchical approach
-B. Conception of a process or how to find the flowsheet best
- Available Information - Batch vs continuous
- Inputs and outputs of the flowsheet
- Structure of recycling
- Separation system
- Network of heat exchangers |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| At the end of the course, the student will master the concepts related to the hierarchic methodology of process design.
He will be able:
- to explain which are the key steps, the point to be analysed, the questions to be asked at each phase of the process design.
- to decompose an exisiting flowsheet following the methodology seen during the course. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| The course relies on knowledge in chemical engineering, particularly unit physic operations, chemical reactors, chemical kinetics, as taught in the option "chemistry and material sciences" course of the bachelor in civil engineering or the 1st master of chemical engineer. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| The course is based on 'ex-cathedra' lectures, specialists' interventions stemming from the industry and one personal work:
The individual work consists in decomposing the flowsheet of a process following the methodology seen in the course. It will be the object of a written report which will be presented and defended during the oral examination. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| Face-to-face lectures. |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| Slides used during the lectures may be downloaded from eCampus
The course follows the structure and part of the contents of the book of J.M. Douglas: Conceptual Design of Chemical Processes, New York: McGraw-Hill (1988). |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| An oral exam is organized during the first and second session. It consists of a presentation of the realized work from which questions will be put on the contents of the course. |
|
Organizational remarks :
|
| The course is organised on Friday morning at the end of the first quadrimester (9h - 12h30).
