|
Course contents :
|
||||||||
| This course is exclusively given by industrials having a long experience in the implementation of major industrial projects in the chemical sector .
It aims to expose students to the reality of the industrial world in various aspects : the role of chemistry in the context of current global issues , industrial project management from idea to start-up, transition from R & D phase to industrial through the pilot unit , ... |
||||||||
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
||||||||
| At the end of the course, the student
- Will be able to assess the robustness of the basic chemistry of the process in terms of sustainable development and industrial feasibility, to challenge the scientists about the synthesis possibly offering new tests; - Will be able to appreciate and defend the interests of a pilot unit to provide all the elements required by the industrial project; - Will have understood the sequence of an industrial project and all interactions between all stakeholders (and specific English terminology) and to weigh the risk of expectations; - will be able to identify and manage the risk/benefit concept frequently present - will be able to identify points in a win win negotiation; - will be abler through the example developed to criticize a process (+ and -), to challenge licensors in order to make the right choice considering ITS priorities; - will be able to participate in the development of a lay out based on the course concepts (including risk assessment and multi-barrier) and know the VIP to apply and especially their link to business (interaction); - Will be able to calculate profitability (NPV, POT, ...) and to challenge inputs of the calculation; |
