After successful completion of the course, students are able to

- apply basic engineering principles for a conceptional design of process plants (i.e., preliminary calculations of energy and mass balances and a rough process economic and environmental assessemnt)

- compare different process options with respect to feedstocks, technologies, utilization of (co-) products etc.

- understand the context and workflows involved in a (pre-) feasibility engineering study

- collect data to be used for subsequent basic engineering studies (i.e., to be performed in the LVA Case Studies in Process Design 2).

- resemble the work of an engineerign team with distinctive roles

The knowledge from process engineering lectures is used in the context of a (pre-) feasibility engineering study for selection between process options for innovative technologies (e.g., biorefineries, CCS/CCU, platform and fine chemicals).

- Introduction of the case study including workflows and roles etc.

- Teamwork

- Meetings for reviewing the work-progress (Q&A sessions)

- Support for process data collection, Bilanzierung, and assessment methods
