Do you want to enhance your career options by learning how to design effective processes which will achieve savings on cost, energy usage and emissions. Industry needs to find clean and efficient ways to use materials, energy and capital and companies need to be successful and to maximise profits. On the course you will learn how to optimise the design and integration of chemical processes - skills which mean you will be in great demand from employers. The course emphasises design for the production of commodity chemicals and fine and speciality chemicals.
* The course focuses on the selection of processing steps and their interconnection into a complete system to transform raw materials into desired products
* You learn how to design complete processes for commodity chemicals as well as fine and speciality chemicals production
* You develop valuable transferable skills, including use of design and modelling software such as Hysys, ProII, Matlab and Aspenplus
Who will benefit?
The course is for recently graduated scientists and engineers who are interested in developing their understanding of chemical process design and want to develop their career in the production of commodity chemicals and fine and speciality chemicals.
How will you benefit?
* Advanced training in the most recent principles and concepts of process design ensure you are up to date with the most progressive ideas in the field
* Regular feedback from senior businessmen and women from prestigious international companies mean that the course is considered to be of high quality and extremely relevant to industry
* The qualification you gain will be recognised all around the world and the excellent reputation of the course amongst employers mean that you will immediately enhance your career prospects
