Course Description

This is simple course on Plant Simulation will show you how to model the most used and common unit operations present in a chemical plant.

We will model a small plant including several "basic" unit operations such as:

  • Pump
  • Reactor
  • Valve
  • Heater
  • Distillation Column
  • Flash

This is helpful for students, teachers, engineers and researchers in the area of R&D and Plant Design/Operation.

The course is didactic, with a lot of applied theory and Workshops/Study cases.

At the end of the course you will be able to setup a simple simulation, run it, get results such as heat duty, composition of streams, overall material and energy balances and some other specified unit operation parameters.

This is recommended specially for those willing to start their journey on their simulation/modeling via software career.

At the end of the Course:

You should be able to understand the very basics of a Process Simulation

  • Setup the Physical Property Environment with the least requirements
  • Setup the Simulation Environment
  • Add the required Input to the Unit Operations
  • Run the simulation and verify Results
  • Understand the role of the Process Simulation Engineer in the Analysis
