Process Engineering (5 cr)

Evaluation scale

0-5

Objective

The course focuses on key process equipment and their selection and application. After completing the course, you will understand the role and differences of different process devices and their utilization in equipment choices. You are able to take process safety into account and understand its significance in design. You will be able to draw a PI diagram to match the practical process. You identify the dimensioning criteria for processes and take into account the requirements of sustainable development in dimensioning.
