Introduction to Mass Transfer Operations
An Overview to the most common Industrial Mass Transfer Operations & Process Separation Technologies
Watch PromoCourse Trailer
Course Description
In this course we will cover the most basic processes involved in Mass Transfer Operations. This is an overview of what type of processes, methods and units are used in the industry. This is mostly an introductory course which will allow you to learn, understand and know the approach towards separation processes involving mass transfer phenomena.
It is an excellent course before any Mass Transfer Process or Unit Operation Course such as Distillations, Extractions, Leaching, Membranes, Absorption, etc...
This course is extremely recommended if you will continue with the following:
- Flash Distillation, Simple Distillation, Batch Distillation
- Gas Absorption, Desorption & Stripping
- Binary Distillation, Fractional Distillation
- Scrubbers, Gas Treating
- Sprayers / Spray Towers
- Bubble Columns / Sparged Vessels
- Agitation Vessels
- Packed Towers, Tray Towers
- Membranes
- Liquid Extraction
- Dryers / Humidifiers
- Adsorbers
- Evaporators/Sublimators
- Crystallizers
- Centrifugations
- And many other Separation Technology!
At the end of the Course:
You will be able to understand the mass transfer operations concepts. You will be able to identify Mass Transfer Unit Operations. You will be also able to ensure the type of method of separation technology used.
You will be able to apply this theory in further Unit Operations.
Theory-Based Course
This is a very theoretical course, some calculations and exercises are present, but overall, expect mostly theoretical concepts
