  • What are Unit Operations?
  • Typical Unit Operations in Chemical Engineering
  • Piping & Fittings
  • Pumping, Compressing and Fluid Metering
  • Fluidisation Beds
  • Heat Exchangers (Heat & Shell, Plates)
  • Condensers
  • Evaporators (Falling/Rising Film, Natural and Forced Convection)
  • Reboilers (Kettle, Thermosyphon)
  • Flashing & Distillation
  • Liquid and Gas Dispersion
  • Absorption and Stripping
  • Liquid Liquid Extraction
  • Drying and Humidification
  • Adsorption
  • Batch Reactors
  • Continuous Stirred Tank Reactors
  • Plug Flow Reactor
  • Packed Bed Reactors
  • Process Flow Diagrams (PDF)
  • Pipe & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&ID)

We cover from design, models and overall review of Unit Operations.

At the end of the Course:

You should be able to recognize and understand basic types of unit operations used in the industry.

  • Basic Engineering
  • Pressure changers
  • Reaction/Kinetics based units
  • Separation Processes
  • Heat Transfer Units
  • Recognize it in real life or in Process Flow Diagrams, as well as Pipe & Insturmentaiton Diagrams PID

Hi there, I'm Emmanuel Ortega, aka Chemical Engineering Guy...

I've been in the Chemical Industry for about 5 years. I love applying all my knowledge learned in University to the Daily Engineering Life. From working in a Petrochemical Plant as a Process Plant Designer to working with textile material from Polyester Yarns; I could teach you a lot of how it is important to learn the Engineering subjects!

My Expertise:

  • Simulation and Optimization of Chemical Processes
  • Chemical Process Design
  • Plant Design & Operation
  • Heat Transfer Operations and Equipment Design
  • Separation Technologies
  • Automotive & Industrial Polyester Yarn Technologies
  • Online Tutoring, Online Education Management

Right now I'm preparing online material for Engineers all over the world. I have a dream in which online education will break all barriers and let Engineers all over the world learn easier and faster! Please join me in my quest!

The Courses I design are entirely dynamic. You will see theory and then apply it ASAP to a real life problem! I even use the books you are using right now in your engineering courses...

I'll see you in class!
