Summary
Students will be able to: - assess the physical-chemical basis for safe process design, including handling of extremely hazardous materials, appropriate safety and control measures and the effect that such considerations have upon influence of scale-up.
- evaluate the basis of selection of construction material based on the characteristics of the materials being processed, conditions required to achieve the transformation etc.
- critically evaluate physical-chemical basis for application of novel/alternative processes and plant designs.
- demonstrate what influence whole system thinking, total life-cycle and critical analysis have upon the physical-chemical basis of process designs.
- explain control choices with respect to the material, physical and chemical properties of the process relating them to product specification and legistration requirement etc.
- evaluate interactive risk within a complex system.
- understand the potential influence of that environmental impact and societal opinions has upon process design.
Target Students
MEng in Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering

- 100% Exam (2-hour): 2 hour written exam
Educational Aims
This modules aims to provide a thorough understanding of the influence process, hygiene and material characteristics have upon the overall, total transformation design of chemical process plants via the reverse/forensic engineering-based analysis of exemplar plant designs. This will be delivered using a top-down approach. Starting with whole plant/process designs and evaluating the design choices that have been driven by understanding these influencing factors.Learning Outcomes
