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
