Processes

Description

Objectifs

At the end of this module, the student will have understood and be able to explain (main concepts):

- the principle of raw materials transformation processes (oil, coal, gas, ore, biomass), of organic and mineral heavy chemistry (refining, petrochemistry, NH3, H2SO4, Na2CO3, NaOH, Cl2, manure¿) and of energy production (thermal, nuclear, biomass)
- the principle of the diagrammatic representation of a process (flowsheet) and associated graphics
- the principles of cost estimation of a process 
- the industrial context of the sector

The student will be able to: 
- describe a production system
- read, interpret, propose an installation flowsheet
- to write global balances on a process in order to calculate matter and energy flows
- identify of information fluxes
- make an critical analysis of a process
- estimate the cost of a process
- know to work in autonomy starting from a schedule of conditions to find and analyze scientific documentation.
