Learning outcomes
After completion of the module, the successful student will be able to:
- Startup a pilot-plant scale distillation column, run it, and interpret experimental results by means of McCabe-Thiele theory/analysis;
- Use a filter press for separation of solid-liquid mixtures and make predictions as to the filter capacity as a function of slurry composition and filtration pressure drop;
- Perform supercritical extraction using CO2 and use the results for scale-up and design;
- Run a gas absorption column and interpret experimental results in light of hydrodynamics and mass transfer;
- Run a cooling tower and describe the cooling capacity by modelling;
- Perform a systematic safety and operability study for process equipment (HAZOP)
