CHEMICAL ENGINEERING FOR NON-CHEMICAL ENGINEERS
24 - 25 SEPTEMBER 2026
COURSE INTRODUCTION
This course gives non-chemical engineers and technical professionals a practical introduction to the calculations and unit operations used in chemical process industries. Participants build confidence in mass and energy balances, fluid flow, pumping, heat transfer and process equipment so they can communicate and make cross-disciplinary decisions more effectively.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
By the end of this programme, participants should be able to:
- Use engineering units, dimensional analysis and process-system classifications correctly.
- Perform material balances for single units, multiple units, recycle and bypass systems.
- Apply energy balances using reference states, steam tables and phase-change data.
- Relate fluid-flow principles, pump curves and system curves to process performance.
- Explain heat-transfer mechanisms and the operation of common heat exchangers.
- Compare distillation, absorption, filtration, membranes and other separation processes.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This programme is suitable for mechanical engineers, maintenance and instrumentation engineers, electrical engineers, COURSE TENTATIVES.
