Case Studies in Process Design
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 14:59:38
Abstract
A chemical process is investigated using one or several simulation programs. A cost calculation has to be implemented considering investment and operating cost. Afterwards sensitivity analyses and optimizations are conducted considering technical and in particular economic criteria.
Objective
- modeling a chemical process using simulation and flowsheeting software - application of the knowledge obtained in lectures - problem-oriented problem solving (application of different methods to the same subject) - team work - report writing and presentation techniques
Content
The same chemical process will be investigated as in part I and II of the case study course. This process will be depicted in one (or several) simulation programs. A cost calculation will be implemented considering investment and operating cost. Afterwards sensitivity analyses and optimizations are conducted considering technical and in particular economic criteria.
