Is this course for you?

You should take this if

  • You work in Oil & Gas Upstream or Pharmaceutical & Healthcare
  • You're a Chemical & Process / Instrumentation Engineering professional
  • You want to build skills in Control Systems, Project Management
  • You prefer live, instructor-led training with Q&A

You should skip if

  • You need a different specialisation outside Chemical & Process
  • You need fully self-paced, on-demand content

Course details

This course is designed to provide basic concepts and practical advice on how to perform laboratory and pilot plant studies and scale-up toward commercial plant for process translation of many unit processes in the field of chemical industries. The course will provide strategies for approaching a pilot plant study, improving and justifying a pilot plant study, and process scaling. Emphasis throughout the course will be on many fluid, mass, heat, and simultaneous mass and heat unit processes. This includes mixers, heat exchangers, absorbers, evaporators, dryers, reactors and bioreactors and other unit processes.

Questions and Answers

A: A: Matches the alarm that 'shouldn't be possible'. Redundancy exists only if both valves can move. Loss of air takes one out and halves capacity. B: Would bias level, but you'd see steady offset, not a sudden HH coincident with air issues. C: A cracked bypass drains level, it doesn't drive HH unless you're misreading trends. D: Internals affect carryover downstream, not vessel level climbing against control.

A: A: Handles wet chlorides better during idle periods when oxygen sneaks in. B: Linings hate thermal cycling and pilot plants cycle a lot; holidays become leaks. C: 304 takes chloride pitting early; temperature isn't the only driver. D: Overkill here and introduces chipping risk during frequent modifications.

A: A: 1.2 / 3.6 gives 0.333 h, that's 20 min. Straight definition. B: Vapor holdup changes effective volume only if reaction is in vapor; not stated. C: Safety factors don't change the reported residence time, only design margins. D: Unit handling error that pops up in reviews, but math doesn't hold.

A: A: Cold loop check catches wiring, logic, and valve action without adding risk. B: Heating comes later; you're skipping interlocks. C: Calibration happens before circulation unless process conditions are required. D: FAT doesn't cover field wiring or as-built terminations.
