Catalog Description:
Introduction to process synthesis and analysis. Estimation of capital and operating cost, total capital investment
and total production costs. Measures of process profitability. Evaluation of process alternatives. Design and
optimization of process piping, heat exchangers, reactor and separation units. Environmental, health and safety
aspects of the design. Green engineering fundamentals.

Course Objectives:
This course integrates the basic concepts learned previously in the Chemical Engineering curriculum, including
material and energy balances, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, thermodynamics, and reaction engineering, to
develop the critical design logic needed to preliminary sizing of equipment. Importance of environmental
considerations in the process design is emphasized. Principle key diagrams that are used to describe a chemical
process along with the evolution, generation of different process configurations and the information needed to
assess the economic feasibility of a process are covered. By the end of the course, you should be able to:
 Interpret principal diagrams used to describe chemical processes.
 Identify hierarchy of the design process
 Analyze process conditions.
 Evaluate economics of chemical processes
 Design and optimize the select process units.
 Consider environmental, health and safety issues and P2 applications (green engineering) in design stage and
waste treatment.

Prerequisites by Topic:
CHE 302 Chemical Kinetics and Reactor Design, CHE 311 Heat and Mass Transfer, CHE 312 Separation
Processes
