Chemical engineering for other engineers

Fees
IChemE member - £1400.00 + VAT

Non-member - £1500.00 + VAT

Overview
This well-established course aims to provide engineers working in the chemical and process industries with an introduction to some of the main subject areas involved in chemical engineering which are not normally included in other engineering disciplines. The course will broaden the technology base of participants to enable improved communication with chemical engineers. It may also provide the basis for a more detailed, in-depth study of chemical engineering.

Who will benefit?
– mechanical engineers
– production engineers
– control engineers
– civil engineers

Outline programme
What is chemical engineering?
Material and energy balances
Reactor design
Basic mass transfer and mass transfer operations
– distillation
– gas absorption
- solvent extraction
Solids processing
Electrostatic ignition hazards in chemical operations

Course director
Professor Philip Bailes
Philip has organised many post-experience courses for both IChemE and individual companies. He is now an independent consultant but retains his association with the University of Bradford where he is Emeritus Professor of Process Engineering. His research on solvent extraction equipment and on the use of electrostatic methods for promoting the separation of water-in-oil emulsions has led to numerous scientific papers and patents.

Speakers
The course is delivered by a team of chemical engineers drawn from industry and academia. The speakers are chosen for their detailed knowledge of the various course topics and are all experienced lecturers. The course also includes workshop sessions to enhance the learning experience.
