CHEN 4350 Chemical Plant Design II

In the second part of the capstone course, students will apply concepts learned in previous courses to design a plant for a chemical process that may be industry sponsored, part of the AIChE design challenge, or student initiated. The process designed must be in accordance with industrial, federal, and local regulations. The design will involve an integrated approach that will include specific information about components of a chemical plant, and will account for factors such as installation, maintenance, economics, the environment, and ethics. The modelling and optimization of the process will be assisted by softwares like Promax, Microsoft Excel, and MATLAB.
