Course description and aims

The conceptual process design is enforced by the interactive optimization of the process structural design and process parametric design for given process design specifications such as the reaction path, the site conditions, and the product conditions. In this course, practice of conceptual design of a commercial process for practical design specifications is enforced using a commercial process simulator of Aspen Hysys.
Process Design Practice II is focused attention to the process flow diagram design, and the interactive process units are optimized under the objective function of process overall performance. The heat recovery system is also designed and optimized.

Student learning outcomes

At the end of this course, students will be able to design/optimize process units for the plausible process configuration design at the conceptual process design. There exist interactions between process units, so that the process unit design is able to be evaluated by only the overall process performance. The acquirement of the optimization technique of process system is also the object of this course.

Keywords

Conceptual Process Design, Process Flow Diagram, Optimization, Process Unit Heat Recovery System
