Understand The Chemical Process Lifecycle

From Feasibility and Conceptualization, to Basic and Detail Engineering, to Operation, Construction & Decommission

What you'll learn
Process Lifecycle: Key stages from concept to decommissioning.
Feasibility/Design: Studies and preliminary designs aligned with standards and sustainability.
Operational Excellence: Process optimization, efficiency, and quality.
Risk/Compliance: Risk management and regulatory/environmental compliance.
Sustainability: Extending process life, waste reduction, and minimizing environmental impact.
Process Transition: Adapting to changes in materials, market, or regulations.

Requirements
Basic Process Engineering background (understanding chemical processes, etc.)

Description
General:This course provides a comprehensive exploration of the complete chemical process lifecycle, from initial concept and design through operation, optimization, and decommissioning. Students will gain an in-depth understanding of each stage of process development, including feasibility studies, detailed design, procurement, construction, commissioning, steady-state and dynamic operations, optimization, and end-of-life planning. The course emphasizes how each phase influences the overall economic viability, environmental impact, regulatory compliance, and safety performance of a chemical process.In addition to technical considerations, the course covers industry best practices for managing process changes, adapting to market fluctuations, and ensuring long-term sustainability. Topics include risk assessment and mitigation strategies, process hazard analysis (PHA), lifecycle cost analysis, and emerging trends in digital transformation and automation. Through case studies and real-world examples, students will explore how modern technologies such as advanced process control, predictive maintenance, and green chemistry principles are shaping the future of the industry.What You Will LearnProcess Lifecycle: Key stages from concept to decommissioning.Feasibility/Design: Studies and preliminary designs aligned with standards and sustainability.Operational Excellence: Process optimization, efficiency, and quality.Risk/Compliance: Risk management and regulatory/environmental compliance.Sustainability: Extending process life, waste reduction, and minimizing environmental impact.Process Transition: Adapting to changes in materials, market, or regulations.Recommended Audience:This course is suitable for both: Students & Professionals.
