| Module Objective: |
To develop a fundamental understanding of process and plant design.
|
| Module Content: |
Process design and simulation (using SuperPro Designer/Dynochem) incorporating the concepts of sustainability and clean processing. Development of plant design in order to generate data for a process piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&ID). Overview of plant location, layout, design and build. Engineering management, concepts of control, evaluation, budgeting and scheduling and closeout. Capital investment/running costs and the methods for their estimation. Profitability analysis (return on investment, pay-back time, discounted cash flow rate of return, net present value.
|
| Learning Outcome: |
On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:- Create simple process plant designs using appropriate tools such as SuperProDesigner/Dynochem..
- Appraise design with respect to sustainability and economics.
- Illustrate engineering management techniques involved in designing, building and commissioning a process plant.
- Apply appropriate industrial economic indicators.
- Describe plant layout and design strategies.
- Discuss the role of the engineer with respect to design and management.
