Why enroll

Participants join this senior projects conference to witness the culmination of the undergraduate engineering journey, where students transition from theoretical learning to practical application by defending complex industrial designs like catalytic hydrocrackers. The seminar offers a professional environment for students to demonstrate their mastery of process simulation, economic optimization, and safety assessment, providing critical experience in technical communication and peer review. For the audience of faculty and fellow students, it serves as a collaborative learning platform to explore the intricate trade-offs between capital investment and operational efficiency, while preparing the next generation of engineers for the rigorous demands and safety standards of the global petrochemical industry.

Seminar details

The seminar showcases the capstone design projects of graduating chemical engineering students. Each team was tasked with designing and optimizing a catalytic hydrocracker—a complex industrial unit used in petroleum refineries to convert heavy vacuum gas oil (VGO) into high-value products like diesel, kerosene, and naphtha. The presentations cover the entire engineering design cycle, including process flow diagrams (PFDs), thermodynamic modeling, kinetic reactor design, equipment sizing, economic analysis (NPV), and rigorous safety and environmental assessments.
