Process Simulation

This course provides a practical introduction to process simulation concepts used in chemical, petrochemical, oil & gas, and process industries. It explains the fundamentals of process modelling and simulation for analysing and improving industrial processes. Participants will learn how to represent process equipment, streams, and operating conditions in a simulation environment. The course covers material and energy balances, thermodynamic property methods, and process flow representation. It introduces the simulation of major equipment such as pumps, compressors, heat exchangers, separators, reactors, and distillation columns. Participants will understand how to define input parameters and analyse simulation results. The course also explains steady-state process simulation and basic process optimisation concepts. Practical examples help participants understand how simulation can support design, troubleshooting, and process improvement. Emphasis is placed on interpreting results and identifying key process performance parameters. By the end of the course, participants will have a strong foundation in using process simulation techniques for engineering applications.
