Process Design Calculation Basics

This course provides a practical introduction to the fundamental calculations used in process design engineering. It covers the basic principles, methods, and engineering parameters required to perform process design calculations for industrial applications. Participants will learn how to understand process data, design requirements, operating conditions, and equipment parameters. The course introduces material and energy balance concepts used in process calculations. It also explains basic calculations related to flow, pressure, temperature, heat duty, and utility requirements. Participants will gain an understanding of equipment sizing calculations and the selection of appropriate design parameters. The course highlights the importance of design margins, assumptions, and applicable engineering standards in calculations. Practical examples are included to help participants understand how calculations are performed and interpreted in real projects. The course also covers the preparation and review of basic process calculation sheets and design documentation. By the end of the course, participants will have a strong foundation for applying process design calculations in engineering projects.
