Paper Description
This paper provides advanced aspects of design and process technology that allow students to design systems for commercial production of biological, chemical and mineral products and processing by-products, wastes and water treatment. The course has been designed around total process examples. Principles of chemical, biochemical and environmental engineering will be given including designing production systems, process simulation, heat exchanger design, reactors, fermenters, and separation technologies. The emphasis is on conceptual process design – how to put together an integrated process and how to assess and implement it. A key component in the course is process economics – will the process make money or not and will it be sustainable?
Paper Structure
The course is taught through a combination of lectures, tutorials, and laboratory classes. Details of lecture and lab content are provided in the attached timetable. Please note that laboratory classes start in the first week of semester and are an essential part of the course.
Learning Outcomes
Students who successfully complete the course should be able to:
Assessment
Assessment Components
