Unit Operations and Systems Design

This course provides a comprehensive understanding of unit operations and systems design principles used in chemical, process, and engineering industries. It introduces participants to the fundamental concepts involved in converting raw materials into useful products through various physical and chemical processes. The course covers major unit operations such as fluid flow, heat transfer, mass transfer, separation, mixing, and reaction processes. Participants learn how individual equipment and operations are interconnected to form complete process systems. It explains the basic principles of equipment selection, process requirements, operating conditions, and design considerations. The course also introduces process flow diagrams, material and energy balances, and equipment interfaces. Practical design considerations such as pressure, temperature, flow rate, utility requirements, and safety are discussed. Participants gain an understanding of how process parameters influence equipment performance and overall system efficiency. The course also highlights common engineering challenges related to process integration, optimization, and system operation. By the end of the course, participants develop a practical foundation for understanding and supporting unit operation and process system design activities.
