Overordnede kursusmål
Chemical process design is about finding a sustainable process that can convert the raw materials to the desired products in a cost-effective manner. Chemical engineers support diverse sectors and process industries, from chemicals and fuels to polymers, textiles, food, and pharmaceuticals. Given this diverse set of industries and sectors with their own domain-specific equipment and standards, in this course, the objective is to introduce students to systematic methods for process design, to give an overview of the main steps involved in the typical life cycle of a process design, as well as the complexity of the design activity. In addition to a systematic approach to process design, we stress the importance of iterative process analysis, including economics, uncertainty & sensitivity analysis, heat integration, optimization, and sustainability analysis. In this way, the course aims to train the students with flexible skills and competencies for conceptual process design needs across diverse process industries.
Læringsmål
En studerende, der fuldt ud har opfyldt kursets mål, vil kunne:
  • Apply a systematic approach to process design
  • Identify, gather, and analyze necessary data, methods, and models for the design
  • Appreciate the complexity of process design & make design-related decisions
  • Generate and evaluate/screen alternatives for design
  • Use computer-aided tools & work in groups.
  • Verify and analyze simulation results.
  • Perform process economics analysis including uncertainty analysis.
  • Perform heat integration and design via pinch analysis.
  • Apply nonlinear programming for process optimization
  • Perform life cycle analysis (LCA) to assess environmental aspects of sustainable process design
  • Use chemical and biochemical engineering knowledge to solve practical engineering problems.
Kursusindhold
The course consists of classroom lectures followed by group work on the project assignment.

The course lectures follow the task-based systematic design methodology, which introduces systematic methods and concepts for process design as follows:
Lecture 1: Introduction to process design
Lecture 2: Process flowsheet synthesis & verification (Douglas method)
Lecture 3: Flowsheet performance evaluation – a simple strategy
Lecture 4: Reactor Design, analysis & sizing -rigorous models
Lecture 5: Separation process design & sizing -rigorous models
Lecture 6: Sensitivity Analysis in Process Design
Lecture 7: Capital and Production Cost Estimation
Lecture 8: Economic Assessment and Uncertainty Analysis
Lecture 9: Process and Flowsheet Optimization
Lecture 10: Heat Integration and HXN design
Lecture 11: Sustainability Analysis in Process Design

The project assignment which is worked in groups of e.g. 3 members contains three parts that builds on each other:
Part 1. Scope of Design
Implement the conceptual process in a simulator of your choice (Aveva or excel spreadsheet). Report and discuss mass and energy calculations (Lectures 1 to 5).
Part 2. Process economics and uncertainty analysis.
Perform cost estimation, economics, sensitivity & uncertainty analysis, and discuss the results (Lectures 6 to 8)
Part 3. Advanced process analysis (e.g. process optimization, heat integration, and sustainability analysis)
Perform optimization, heat integration, and sustainability analysis, compare/benchmark other alternatives, and discuss the results. (Lectures 9 – 11).
Each part will be followed by selected group presentations (each group will present at least one part of the assignment).
